School Re-Opening Parent Survey
Making the decision to close for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year was not easy. The decision was made with the safety of the students, staff and their families as our top priority. Springville Union Elementary School District is preparing for an August 13, 2020 school opening. More details will be coming throughout the summer as there is a great deal of uncertainty about how COVID-19 will impact school campuses by the start of the school year. We are designing scenarios in order to be prepared to continue to deliver high-quality educational opportunities to our students. We are also being mindful to plan schedules that can swiftly adapt in response to current conditions without causing major disruptions to our students. families, and staff.
We are committed to continue to keep our community safe by following the guidelines of the CDC, State of California, County Public Health, and California Department of Education once they are released. We are anticipating recommendations which could include the use of face coverings, modifying recess/break procedures, rethinking physical education, limiting the number of students in a classroom, social distancing in all areas (buses, classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, offices, etc.), additional cleaning measures, and health screening requirements. We understand our families have unique needs and we want to be prepared to support your child/children. In planning reopening scenarios, if the State of California deems it safe to allow schools to reopen, our first choice would be to offer a Traditional Schedule with students attending school a full day, every day on the physical campus (MODEL A). In the event a traditional schedule is not feasible, additional scenarios could include:
MODEL B: BLENDED LEARNING
Students receive a portion of their instruction and interventions online (Distance Learning) and a portion of instruction and interventions in person on campus. This model limits the number of days students would be on campus and allows for a reduction in the number of students in a classroom meeting the Social Distancing requirement if still in place.
MODEL C: DISTANCE LEARNING
Students would receive daily instruction through pencil/paper/technology-based approach and do not attend the physical school site.
We value your input and want to know how we can support our students, their families, and our staff in being successful in any of the possible scenarios. Please help us by taking a few minutes to respond to the survey questions regarding re-opening our school this fall.
Thank you in advance,
Ms. Connie
