While most schools in Westchester will be returning from the holiday break and learning remotely, at least one district is bucking that trend and will be going to its hybrid model, much to the chagrin of some of its employees.
When students in New Rochelle return to class on Monday, Jan. 4, those in grades 4 through 8 will return to the district s full-hybrid model, joining the younger students.
At the high school, the Alternative Campus School will return to the hybrid model on Monday, Jan. 11, and the rest of the school will follow on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Interim New Rochelle Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero said that in order to stick with those dates and prevent the spread of COVID-19, students should be kept home if they traveled over break or were a part of any large gathering.
