Community Update August 7, 2020
Community Update August 7, 2020 from Dr. Lyons, Superintendent
August 07, 2020
I hope you are doing well in the aftermath of the storm that impacted our region so severely. Also, thank you for your ongoing feedback via email after the posting of the District Reentry Plan. Your questions and comments helped guide the design of our parent survey. The survey went out Wednesday (August 4) evening. If you have not done so, please take the time between now and Monday, August 10, at midnight to complete it.
 
Please be assured that we hear your concerns. We are reviewing each email response and will be analyzing the survey results once the survey closes on Monday. Two themes that have quickly emerged are the two-hour delay schedule and the need for an on-line option that does not require medical documentation. Both of these items are being actively reviewed and will be addressed next week.
 
Thank you for your patience as we make adjustments to our plan amid the challenging conditions we face daily. 
 
Be well.
 
Brendan Lyons, Ed. D.

Disitrict Reopening Plan

District Reopening Plan

The purpose of this document is to provide an initial framework for families and staff to plan for the fall. The plan is based on federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidance, as well as several weeks of discussion and work by the District Reentry Team (DRT), and subject-specific task forces. Each task force worked with a representative committee of staff, parents and our District Physician to develop plans for three possible reentry scenarios: 100% remote, 100% in-person, and a hybrid or a mixed model.  Depending on the Governor’s final decision on the reopening of schools, we are prepared to implement any of these three models. In addition, if circumstances change throughout the school year, we are prepared to move between models based on directives from New York State.  (read more)
