Parent Survey
During the week of July 6th, you will be receiving a survey regarding returning to school in August. The
survey will have 2 questions regarding your preferences for your child. The questions are:
1. When school opens in August, how would you prefer for your child to return?
• Brick and Mortar Only – Physically on campus with a modified schedule, adhering to all CDC guidelines and
observing social distancing.
• Remote-Live Instruction Only – Instruction would take place primarily online, but students may be invited on
campus in small groups or individually for assessments and targeted instruction.
• Flexible-Combined Learning (FCL) – A combination of on-campus and Remote-Live Instruction. This model
will allow for reduced density on campus and improved social distancing. The school will determine the
adopted Flexible-Combined Learning (FCL) model based on overall facility capacity and/or parent
feedback. Models being considered include alternating days or alternating weeks.
2. If school reopens in a Flexible-Combined Learning setting, indicate which
scheduling arrangement you would prefer:
• Attending school physically on alternating days
• Attending school physically on alternating weeks
• No preference
*The following slides will go into further detail for each option.*

Masks and Face Coverings
• Faculty/Staff will be required to use masks/face coverings when
social distancing is not feasible.
• Students will be required to use masks/ face coverings in instances
when social distancing is not feasible.
• For example:
• Arrival/Dismissal
• Movement in Hallways
Hygiene and Cleaning Practices • Promote frequent hand-washing and/or use of hand sanitizer. • Thorough cleaning and disinfecting of classrooms nightly. • Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces throughout the day. • Maintenance staff is currently being trained on new additional cleaning and disinfecting protocols.
Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
• Arrival will be staggered as usual:
• Kindergarten and 1st grade from 7:30-8:00 a.m.
• 2nd-8th grade from 8:00-8:30 a.m.
• Dismissal will also be staggered as usual:
• Kindergarten and 1st grade at 2:00 p.m.
• 2nd-5th grade at 3:00 p.m.
• 6th-8th grade 3:25 p.m.
• Dismissal will take place from the classrooms with staff monitoring movement
in hallways. This will minimize crowding in hallways during dismissal times.
*School Hours are subject to change to accommodate the different options.Identifying Students and Staff
with Possible COVID Symptoms
• We will follow CDC, FLDOE, and MDCPS checklists and protocols for
identifying students and staff with possible COVID Symptoms.
• The student or staff member exhibiting symptoms will be separated from
the group and parents will be contacted.
• We will use contact tracing to determine potential exposure and, if
needed, pivot to full-time Remote Live Instruction for any class that has
been exposed.
• With our technology, we can quickly shift to full-time
Remote Live Instruction at any time that a class or the
school must be closed.More Information Forthcoming • More information will be forthcoming on: • After Care and Before Care • Electives and Special Areas • Clubs and After School Activities • Lunch • Other CDC, FLDOE, and MDCPS School Board Policies
