Unfortunately, due to low enrollment, as of March 8, 2021 we have determined we will not be offering our school district elementary Extended Care program this spring. Other organizations continue to offer childcare to the community, and additional information about their program is available directly from them as well as summarized below.

After the final hybrid plan details and protocols are set and shared with families, there will be a learning model registration process. During this process, families will select the learning model for their child. This can be a different choice than they selected in the previous intent survey. After registration, families will be will then be allowed to change their child’s learning model one time, effective at the beginning of the 4th quarter. This is to minimize the significant disruption that changes in class assignments can have on students, teachers and specialists.

Because of the complexity of developing staffing and classroom configurations for hybrid learning, families will not be able to choose or request to be in a specific cohort.

Because of the complexity of developing staffing and classroom configurations for hybrid learning, families will not be able to choose or request to be in a specific cohort. However, we will make every effort to place siblings attending the same school into the same cohort. 

While we cannot guarantee students will remain with their current classroom teacher in either learning model, our preference is to maintain current classroom assignments to the extent possible. Regardless of current teacher, families should make independent choices about participating in either learning model. Similarly, staff will determine their availability to work on-site, either because they meet the CDC’s definition of “high-risk worker” or they have other responsibilities that limit their availability.

Yes, students in the hybrid program will have a different teacher for the remote portions of the school day. The in-person teacher will teach the morning and afternoon cohorts in the classroom at their school.  The subjects taught in the remote portion of the hybrid model will be taught by other teachers.  

We will share more information on potential Extended Care options once they are available. 

In-person sessions will cover the subjects of reading, writing, math and social and emotional learning. Remote learning sessions would cover social studies, science, health, art, PE, music, and specialists in other areas of learning. 

Yes, we expect schools and teachers will schedule a recess break for students in their classroom cohort.   Students will be expected to wear their face masks and practice social distancing at recess. Staff will assist in supporting students in safely socializing at recess.

There will not be temperature screening upon entry to school. If a student becomes ill while at school, the nurse is likely to check temperature as one of the steps to assess the student’s health. Current guidance from CDC and DOH does not require daily temperature screening, and indicates relying on attestations is acceptable. Families will be asked to provide a daily attestation affirming that they have screened their child’s health prior to sending them to school.

We will follow the guidance and recommendations from Public Health—Seattle & King County regarding school/classroom exposures and people exhibiting symptoms. These protocols are outlined in this document beginning on page 8 Covid-19 Response Toolkit.

If a whole class needed to be quarantined at the same time, we would expect that class would shift to being fully remote for that period of time. Individual students in the hybrid model unable to attend in-person would still be able to attend the remote portion of the day and receive homework/assignments from the in-person portion, similar to when a student was ill or missed prior to the pandemic.

Yes, Highly Capable services will continue to be provided in both hybrid and online learning models.

The remote portion of the hybrid day will consist of synchronous and asynchronous learning.  

When we initially posted an answer to this question prior to finalizing the hybrid implementation plan, we expected the 100% remote schedule to remain very similar to the prior version, and in fact worked to keep it as closely aligned with the prior schedule as possible, but found we needed to make a change for Wednesdays.

In preparation for offering on-site instruction, we worked with our teacher representatives to evaluate the three types of teaching that would be occurring simultaneously in the AM/PM hybrid model: on-site half days, remote half days (for the on-site students), and fully remote full days.  Not only do the different types of teachers have responsibility for different subject areas, they also have responsibility for aligning opportunities for students to receive services from other specialists (music, PE, library, multi-language instruction, highly capable math, speech/occupational/physical therapy, supplemental instruction for struggling learners in reading and math, special services aligned with individual educational plans for special needs students, and more). The bell schedules for all three types of teaching needed to be aligned to plan for both common and different times for the delivery of those specialist services. 

When we developed the final bell schedules, we agreed to a fully remote Wednesday not only to allow a day for deep cleaning schools to address safety protocols for onsite instruction, we also needed to provide more time for teachers to align and prepare instruction in the hybrid model. We also needed to offer time for supplemental services as described above, without interfering with blocks of time designated for core instruction.  Wednesdays will be 100% remote for all students, but in addition to regular asynchronous instruction/activities for all students there will be synchronous services offered to both students who are onsite the other days of the week, as well as for fully remote students.

Contract tracing would be led by Public Health—Seattle & King County with support from our school district. You can find information on this beginning on page 19 of the following document from Public Health Covid-19 Response Toolkit.

The planning team is recommending this schedule because it would be the most consistent for students attending in person. It allows for in-person contact and learning four days a week. This offers regular opportunity for connection, addressing students’ individual needs and offering in-room/in-the-moment support. Additionally, the AM/PM model is intended to be short-term and temporary, with the ultimate goal of returning elementary students to in-person learning full-time as soon as possible. This model is also the most scalable model with the most efficient use of available staff and classrooms.

School staff will be assigning students to cohorts once we have registration information confirmed by parents/guardians.

In accordance with Department of Health recommendations, vaccines are currently not required for students or staff to return to in-person instruction.
