How will classrooms be set up? 20 kids can fit 6 feet apart? Will they be seated every other desk (ie physical barrier)?
Will we have access (in small groups) to the school to see the classrooms / procedures prior to sending our kids?
How will bathroom breaks be managed?
For lunch in the classrooms, will they keep their lunches by their desks so that they don't have to go out in the hall to get them? How will hand washing before eating be handled?
Will recess and mask/water breaks be separated by class? So the class size - 16-18+teacher(s) - is the only people my child will interact with?
How many kids on average will be in a classroom at RMS?
Are students assigned to a specific teacher and class mates for e-learning and if we switch to in person second trimester will they have that same specific teacher?
What is the procedure for the bathrooms?
Are there sinks in the classrooms for handwashing? Will they be allowed to keep a personal hand sanitizer at their desks?
During outdoor breaks, will kids be allowed to play with each other or on the playground equipment?
How do you plan on practicing the 6ft social distancing when looking at 18-20 students per classroom? Classrooms are not that large so do you really plan on the 6ft spacing?

Classroom desks will be set up with six feet of social distancing. Extra desks and other unnecessary furniture will be removed.
We will post photos of classrooms. Some type of Meet and Greet will take place prior to the first day of school.
Primary classrooms have private bathrooms in each. Older grades will have scheduled bathroom breaks.
Students will not be using hallway lockers (RMS) or hooks in the hallway (SHS). Students' belongings will be kept with them at their desk.
Yes, to the greatest extent possible.
Approximately 18-20 students if students are back five days per week; they may be slightly smaller if we have to utilize an A/B schedule.
Yes, students in remote learning will be assigned to a specific teacher (or content teachers at RMS). If a student returns to in-person learning the second half of the year, they will not necessarily be with the same teacher as remote classes may be multi-age.
Classes will have assigned bathroom breaks so that they can be cleaned in between.
Not all classrooms have sinks in them. All classrooms will be stocked with hand sanitizer. Students are also welcome to bring their own if parents prefer.
Kids will be allowed to play with each other while practicing social distancing. Playground equipment is to be determined.
The class size of 18-20 was determined by going into our classrooms and placing desks six feet apart. Yes, we are following the six feet guideline.
