Tuition paying students will be divided into A and B cohorts ( groups) to receive instruction on site and remote on alternating days. The on-site days will be the same hours and times (8:50-12:05) that the preschool typically runs. Students will alternate on-site and remote days every other day. At this time it is intended that our classified students who receive special education and related services will attend school daily and will follow their typical school schedule, which will vary depending on their placement and programming.

Highlights:

• • • Tuition students will be present in school every other day

    • Studies classified with a disability will be present in school everyday

    • Related services will be provided in person

    • Integrated class sizes will be reduced

All students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade will receive a combination of on-site and remote instruction. This model includes separating our students into two cohorts (groups). Cohort A would attend school on-site in the morning via a reduced schedule and Cohort B would attend school on-site in the afternoon via a reduced schedule. This model affords all students the opportunity to receive face-to-face instruction from their classroom teachers each day with a reduced schedule of a 2.5 hour school day combined with 1.5 hours of remote instruction. All students will benefit from instruction in all content areas, including physical education, media, music, world language, and art. This model also allows for prioritizing students who may require additional time for mandated related services, supports, and instruction.

Highlights:

• • • Reducing the school day schedule allows students to receive instruction in-person every day, which serves to benefit the social-emotional and learning needs of our youngest learners.

    • Your assigned cohorts will remain consistent in an effort to assist with planning, preparation, and scheduling for our families.

    • Fifty percent reduced capacity can allow for social distancing in classrooms, hallways, and common spaces.

    • Additional time scheduled for sanitizing and disinfecting between cohorts.

    • Teachers are allotted planning time for virtual instruction.

    • We will be working with Champions Before/Aftercare to explore the opportunity for K-5 wrap-around childcare for families who may need it in the AM and/or PM.

Students will be divided into A and B cohorts (groups) to receive instruction on-site and remote on different days. The on-site day will be a minimum session consisting of four (4) hours of instruction. During the on-site time, students will see their core teachers and possibly their encore (elective) teachers as well on a rotating basis. On the day that a student will be at home, there will be remote assignments and lessons provided by the teachers through videos and postings in Google Classroom.

Highlights:

• Students will be present in school every other day.

• Fifty percent reduced capacity can allow for social distancing.

• While in school, the focus will be on the core subject areas.

• Provides students with more structure than prior remote learning.

Students will be divided into A and B cohorts (groups) to attend alternately in-person and remote on different days. The in-person day will consist of two to four periods and run from 7:55 AM - 12:11 PM. On the day that a student will be at home, there will be assignments and lessons provided by the teachers through videos and postings in Google Classroom. This allows for students to see their teachers in-person during their assigned day at school.

Highlights:

• • • Students will be present in school every-other-day.

    • Provides students with more structure than prior remote learning.

    • Students will run through their entire schedule over the course of a three or four day cycle, depending on the number of classes that run each day.

    • Student traveling through the halls will be minimized, based on the reduced number of in-person classes that run each day.

• All hybrid models were developed in order to

  • • • maximize the opportunity for on-site learning while also supporting opportunities for meaningful remote learning

      • increase the use of video and scheduled (synchronous learning) instruction while still affording flexibility (asynchronous learning) to adjust for family circumstances if needed

      • allow for a seamless transition to full remote IF required to temporarily close schools and transition to remote learning for all students

      • decrease the total number of students in our buildings at one time in order to limit traveling in common spaces, promote social distancing, facilitate easier contact tracing by eliminating or reducing mixed groups, and allow more time to disinfect and sanitize our facilities

• A lunch period is not included in any minimum session or reduced day schedule; however, grab and go lunches will be available through a pre-order service, including those who qualify for free or reduced meals.

• Face coverings would be required for all adults, in accordance with CDC, NJ Department of Education and NJ Department of Health Guidelines.

• Face coverings would be required for students when social distancing is not possible, in accordance with CDC, NJ Department of Education and NJ Department of Health Guidelines.

• Allowances for a full day of instruction will be made available for students in elementary, middle, and high school who may require related services, specialized supports, self-contained special education instruction, or other needs that must be addressed on-site.

• Remote instruction will continue to be available for students whose parents opt-out of in-person learning.
