Children in Grades kindergarten through 5 returned to schools April 5 as required by the state. Like many districts, the Adams-Cheshire schools had been shifting between hybroid and remote. Dean said the MOU mostly represented updated state guidance such as the 3-foot desk spacing instead of 6 feet. This does lock in a 6-foot buffer between the teacher instruction area and the front row of students. Dean said the MOU gives teachers up to 10 quarantine days that do not count against sick time. Given everything that we are looking at at the time, this seemed like a fair compromise, he said. Staff who come in contact with the virus in the school can tap quarantine time for days off needed to actually receive the test and to await results. He said staff do need to receive a test to use the time and can t just take the 10 days off.
I just wanted to make sure we got this information out there, Superintendent Aaron Dean said Monday. We have sent messages to families and have made posts on the website to keep folks as informed as we can. Grades 1 through 5 will return to school Monday, April 5, for full five-day in-person learning. Grades 6 through 12 will return on April 28. Some of this is to try to keep numbers down in the buildings while meeting the requirements for the hours of both of those programs, Dean said. So we are going to remain with those programs in place to keep that consistency. With the little ones when you change what has been consistent for them you are going to spend a lot of time trying to get those new routines.
