Good Afternoon Derby Family,
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Sunday.
There have been no additional addendums received this week. Our
plan remains the same as last week. Derby’s Road Map to Reopening
Reopening
While we are
prepared to reopen within any of our 3 models (full in-person, Hybrid or full
remote) and we will continue to review the metrics daily, based on today’s
metrics and the number of days we have been trending at this rate Derby Public
Schools will be opening on September 8 with our Full In-person learning Model. This
would still include the flexibility provided in Addendum 1 that allows parents to temporarily opt into
remote learning. In addition, we are planning to transition slowly the week of
September 8-11, 2020. At this time our district would be at approximately 51%
capacity in our buildings.
Metrics:
1. Percent test
positivity (# of positive tests/# of total tests, 7-day average),
2. Number of new
COVID-19 hospitalizations per 100,000 population (7-day average),
3. COVID-like and
Influenza-like Illness (CLI and ILI) Syndromic Surveillance.
4. Ability for district
to implement effective mitigation strategies within their school buildings.
The
week of August 31-Sept. 4 all staff will be participating in training and
practicing of the new protocols.
September
8-9 half days with only half the students reporting on each day. You
will be receiving a notice from your school as to which cohort your child is in
and what day they will report in for the first two days.
September 10-11 will be half days with Full In-Person.
This
will give us all time to practice the new protocols of all three plans
together, as well as utilize time each day to review how things went and make
any necessary adjustments prior to returning the next day.
Fall Sports Update
The
CIAC Board of Control will meet today at 7:00 PM to discuss the possibility of
restarting conditioning with a final decision on Fall Sports expected later in
the week.
Your Input is Needed
If
you have not had a chance to complete our parent reopening survey please take a
moment now to complete. In addition to this survey your school has
been reaching out to discuss your plans.

Thermometers
You
will be receiving a survey from our nurses inquiring who needs a thermometer.
We have multiple sources for free thermometers.
We are asking each family to complete a health questionnaire each
morning prior to sending your child to school,
No child with a temp of greater than 100% will be allowed to attend in
person. Your child will be able to login
in remotely to their classes at the same time as they would have otherwise
attended their class in person.
We will be offering free thermometers to any family that requests one. School
Nurses will be surveying you this week.
Meals are still being served daily
Breakfast and lunch is available daily for children under the age of 18 and can
be picked up at Irving School and Derby Middle School 11 am - 1
pm Monday-Friday.

This will be our last week District Wide Weekly Zooms. After this week schools
