Peru Central School District published reopening plan
Dear Peru Central School Parents/Guardians and School Community,
As of August 3rd, Peru Central School District anticipates implementing our Hybrid 2 Plan for re-opening to students on Tuesday, September 8th.
We understand this plan will place a difficult burden on our families. Unfortunately, given the Department of Health, CDC, and New York State Education Department guidance, this is the safest and most compliant plan we could formulate after months of development.
Hybrid Plan 2 – PreK to Grade 12
students will be in person 2 days per week
students will be remote 3 days per week
masks will be required at all times except while eating
mask breaks will be provided
social distancing will be followed in all spaces where practical
students will be assigned to Group A or Group B
Group A will attend in-person the first two days of the week and be remote the rest of the week
Group B will be remote the last two days of the week and be remote the beginning days of the week All students will be remote on Wednesday of any five-day week
Every effort will be made to schedule families with children in grades in the same group
Families uncomfortable having their child attend in-person, will have the option to participate in remote learning 100%.
Transportation
Due to social distancing and contact tracing requirements, students will only be able to have one pick up and one drop off point (must be the same). All families will be expected to identify one pick up and drop off location for their child(ren).
No bus notes will be accepted this year. You will be able to drop off and/or pick up your child. Each building will share new guidelines regarding pick up and drop off for the school year.
Additional information will be coming out in the next few weeks. There will be a survey going out on Monday, August 3 to reaffirm what your preliminary plans were going to be for the 2020-2021 school year. It is extremely important that you complete the survey as questions will be asked about:
- Coming back to school
- Mode of transportation (walk, school transportation, student driving, parent drop off)
These answers will assist us in the completing the planning phase of the scheduling for the 2020-2021 school year. Thank you for your continued support during this time of uncertainty.
Sincerely,
Thomas Palmer Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools
