Weekly Parent Update 8-23-2020

Weekly Parent Update 8-23-2020
Posted on 08/23/2020

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.

 

Weekly Meeting Zoom Meeting

 

This will be our last week District Wide Weekly Zooms. After this week schools will offer parent Zooms as they share out the details of their school plan.  All school plans will be completed Tuesday August 25, 2020. The plans will have a final review by our Governance Reopening Committee and then shared out by the school.
