Re-opening Floodwood School
The district has formed a committee to begin to plan for the opening of school in the fall. The committee is using the guidance developed by the Minnesota Department of Education. The district will be developing three plans: Complete Distance Learning (as we did from March to June), Completely in the building as we would typically have school, and a Hybrid Model between Distance Learning and back in the building. The Distance Learning Plan will be similar to the plan in the spring with a few exceptions. The Back in the Building plan will be as we normally were in the building with additional expectations of social distances and other requirements from the state. The Hybrid Model will consist of learning in the building and learning from home. The committee has developed four (4) scenarios for the high school, (2) scenarios for grades PreK-2, and one (1) scenario for grades 3-6. Please review the High School and Elementary scenarios below.
It is our goal to have plans completed by the end of July for the Distance Learning Plan, Complete Back in the Building Plan, and Hybrid Plan. Staff training and parent notification of the plans will begin in August. We may not know what scenario will be recommended by the state in early August but you will know what the district’s response will be when the decision is made.
Knowing how parents feel about sending their children back to school is an important factor in our reopening plan. Your opinions matter and we are interested in hearing them. If you can complete the survey by 8AM Wednesday, July 15th, that would be beneficial for our planning meetings this week. If you cannot get it done by then, we will still review your responses.
