DANBURY — The Stokes County Schools will open instruction with two weeks of distance learning, is announced this week in a multi-page document.
After those two weeks, some parents can choose to continue the all-online option, the state’s “Plan C,” or can begin sending their children to school … but on a greatly modified schedule. Students will be divided into two groups by the letter of their last name — A through K named students will be in school one day while the L through Z group works from home, and then switching depending on what day of the week it is. The first group will go to campus on Monday, Tuesday and Friday of week one, and Monday and Tuesday of the next week, then learn remotely the other days. The second group would alternate those days.
“In-person learning in the school building will be with their teachers and some classmates each week and remote instruction will continue through an online platform for the remaining days,” the statement said.
The Board of Education will discuss the new schedule during its regular meeting Monday night, but does not have to approve the plan as it granted Superintendent Dr. Brad Rice emergency powers when the pandemic started back in March.
“Stokes County Schools are excited to have your students back in the buildings as fast as possible and as safe as possible,” Rice said in a video posted on the schools’ website and Facebook page, “and we didn’t think we could be ready on the first day of school.”
The extra two weeks of online learning will give teachers and staff more time to learn the “cleaning and screening” procedures that will be required, Rice said.
“We want to make sure we’re ready for you, and this plan gives us that opportunity,” he added.
None of the plan is set in stone, as details could change at any time according to state directives or local circumstances.
As to the schedule, the staff will return to the facilities the week of Aug. 3 for training in “the new normal” — including new hygiene requirements.
On Aug. 10-14 there will be scheduled orientation sessions with small groups of students, who will be contacted by the school for their day and time to report to school. The session will last 60-90 minutes, Dr. Rice said. Chromebooks will be distributed at that time.
On Aug. 17, school will begin by remote learning. The in-person alternating days plan could not begin before Aug. 31 for the Early College students and the Tuesday after Labor Day, Sept. 8, for other students.
For additional information, you can contact the Central Office at (336) 596-8146, or your student’s school.
Other key items in the plan:
● Stokes County Schools will comply with all requirements outlined in the StrongSchoolsNC Public Health Toolkit, including daily health screenings, face coverings, social distancing and others.
● Students working remotely will have the opportunity each day to log into the live instruction with their class. If students are not able to log on in real time, they will be able to access the recorded lessons later.
● Siblings with different last names can be scheduled in the same group on the parent’s request.
● The Labor Day holiday will be observed on Sept. 7, and Oct. 12-13 will be teacher workdays.
● “Regardless of the plan, all learning environments will have high expectations and will result in work that contributes to the student’s overall numerical grade.”
