From the Desk of Dr. Halley: Potential Hybrid Model Explained

Good morning, parents and guardians of PCR-I students!

We are so elated that we have been able to welcome back all students into our buildings and resume a mostly normal school day schedule. With our enhanced cleaning protocols, a degree of physical distancing among students, adjustments to how students enter and exit buildings, and changes to how we manage transitions between classrooms throughout the day, it is our hope and plan that we will be able to stay in school 100% face to face this school year.

 

However, we always want to be prepared for any situation that might arise. In this letter, we will be explaining what would happen if we would need to move from 100% in person to a hybrid model.  Under this scenario, we would have A days and B days. Half our students would attend in-person classes on A days and the roles would then flip on B days. 

 

Group A students would go to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday one week and Tuesday and Thursday the following week. Group B students would do exactly the opposite.  This would enable us to have half as many students in a classroom at a time. We are not going to this model right now and maybe never will. We are just trying to be prepared.  

 

This is what we are asking of you: it is important that you check to see that all of your children are in the same group. We tried very hard to make sure they were in the same group, but could have made a mistake. If you need to make a change, please call the office by Friday, September 25, 2020. We will  be making changes so that family members are in the same group.

 

Again, this is not happening at this time. We are just making preparations and putting plans in place in the event that we would need to implement our hybrid model (50% in-person/50% virtual). Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Dr. Heath Halley

Superintendent of PCR-I Schools
