Return to HCSD 152.5 School Survey
Family Survey: Fall Planning 2020
As we prepare for the reopening of the Fall school year 2020, we would like to consider any feedback from our families here in District 152 ½. Your feedback, along with the suggested guidelines from the Illinois State Board of Education will help us with our planning. We have developed different committees to help create an overview of the direction we are heading toward. It is important to District 152 ½ to know how the parents feel and the possible response to our intentions. District 152 ½ is developing a plan where we can welcome back all the students within the safety guidelines that are required by the state. This will include students wearing face covering in school. In addition, in order to space students appropriately, it will require the district to secure more staff and make necessary modifications to our daily programs. The maximum allowable distance between students will be maintained in relation to each of our physical spaces, which may not always be 6 feet, but will be minimum of 4.5 feet with face coverings. Most communal spaces will be closed or utilized with restricted capacity. There will be no large gatherings. We will develop different movement patterns throughout the buildings that will allow social distancing and minimizing student to student interactions. Transportation is planning to run with no more than 50 students per bus at 2 students per seat with face coverings. Symptom checks certifications will be required daily at school. There are many more details that will be established and a Fall 2020 Return to School Plan will be distributed well in advance to the new school year.
