Dear families,
Some of you who dabble in the world of social media may have seen some information going around recently with "New CDC Guidelines for Re-opening Schools."
While this info-graphic was created as a reaction to the CDC's recent recommendations (which can be found HERE), it is not necessarily what you will see moving forward. As I shared with some of my friends yesterday, take it with a grain of salt. School professionals are going to need to have some input on what actually happens. Some of the interpreted recommendations are great in theory, but just not realistic. Please remember, a recommendation is not a mandate.
I suspect it will be quite a while before we have a plan for the re-opening of schools, and even then, I would imagine it will be fairly fluid as things change. We may even have to have multiple plans in place due to the fact we just don't know what the situation is going to look like come fall. A certain level of flexibility will certainly be important for all of us. (Please note this is my personal interpretation of things -- not an official statement representing the RSU nor the DOE.)
This is a stressful time for everyone -- caregivers, school staff, and kids. It is really hard not knowing what is yet to come. Try to relax and enjoy the sunny day and step away from the "news" for a bit. (I will work on taking my own advice!)
Have a great weekend. Remember, no school on Monday! (Memorial Day)
