All kinds of back and forth from virtual to in person from in person to virtual, starting remote then coming in person a month later, etc are all very disruptive to the students and the teachers.
Children thrive on routine. This isn't good for their mental health.
Their routines have been destroyed since March.
Our district is trying to keep that to a minimum.
Of course, if they have to go remote due to spikes, quarantines, etc that's one thing.
But unless it's forced for that reason, it makes no sense to have a revolving door of schedules.
Not to mention the logistical nightmare that would be for everyone from parent to administrators.
Exactly. How can you go back and forth with a different teacher and how does that teacher know where that student is with learning as I am sure each teacher has their own way of teaching and each child on a different level.
The buses are going to be set up for the amount of kids who are saying they are using them. Add in more kids whenever doesn't work with their set ups too of only 2 kids per seat.
I know - it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either but, I do like that we have the ability to opt out of the in person if it's not working. My main concern is the use of masks in a socially distant classroom with certain mask breaks - I'm curious to see how it will actually look. And that they have thought of kids who have to stay home at certain times.
I have a feeling we are going to start 100% remote.
I am thinking that most classes will have no masks in them and just when they leave the class.
I honestly think that things will get very lax after awhile as most things do.
Yep.
17 kids in a class all touching their masks, pulling them down, my DD constantly has her mask UNDER her nose and I must say 10 times a day, cover your nose, losing them, the younger kids accidentally taking someone else's mask 
It will get lax especially while they sit at their desks.
The desks are 6 feet apart- I don't see why they need them while seated. Just like at a restaurant. Tables are 6 feet apart and you don't wear the mask once seated.
Exactly it makes no sense if you can do it elsewhere you can't do it in a classroom.
I know. Everything else we have signed up for this summer was more lax than advertised so I don't want to throw in the towel before it starts. My kids need to be back in school. Two days a week is less than ideal but better than nothing.
True. What I am hearing from the older kids though is that they won't be able to go to school with their friends and that is a big deal to them. I think if you do half the district full, the entire district should go full.
But the parents decide, not the kids. Idc if he doesn't want to go, he's going. lol.
My son is going into 8th grade and his middle school had 88% of the parents opting for blended. So that isn't much wiggle room, at all

I never said these kids don't want to go but it is upsetting that they won't be able to even have classes with friends. Many are older and it is their last year.

I hope things do not get lax. That is what happened in Israel and it caused a terrible spike. I believe most teachers will not let it get lax and will require masks at all times in their rooms.
What is the difference between a restaurant and a classroom if when you are seated you don't have to wear a mask but when you get up you do?
Restaurants have good ventilation. Schools do not.
I guarantee that most teachers will be requiring students to wear masks all day except when eating and for mask breaks. They will take students outside for designated mask breaks (weather permitting) to limit potential exposure.
Where are you getting the information that restaurants have good ventilation. Some might, but this was not a requirement of opening indoor dining and masks are not required while seated in any of them. I’ve been in plenty of poorly ventilated restaurants in my life.
Some restaurants might not have good ventilation, you’re correct. Look what happened in Japan. That’s why I am not eating inside restaurants. I’ve actually only eaten out once since March and we were the only people on the patio.

Because the primary reason to be in a restaurant is TO EAT. You cant eat with a mask on. That's exactly why restaurants require a mask when getting up.

The point is that they will be 6 feet or more apart. The rules for social distancing is to wear a mask if you can't be 6 feet apart.

ETA: They are also likely requiring the masks for the kids to better protect the teachers.

I still don’t think indoor dining should have opened, but the difference is kids need an education. People don’t need to eat in a restaurant.
Restaurants have bigger spaces, and limits on number of people. Classes are often overcrowded to begin with.

When our number is 0.6 and kids have been out and about for months then yes there is something wrong with that.

Why? There have been no spikes after the restaurants opened indoors.

I guess you know better than the experts and our very cautious governor who said it was ok. But you'd be wrong because indoor dining has been open for over a month now and no spikes. We are at are lowest infection rate ever.
Imagine that!
And I've been eating indoors in restaurants at .
least twice a week and I'm still alive and kicking without so much as a sniffle.

“I still don’t think..”. Hence it was an opinion. Didn’t even insinuate I know better than anyone.
You really could be a bit nicer. I know you don’t like when people call you out on it, but you often come across as being quite nasty.

No I don't mind when people call me out on it.
I know I'm a bit of a bitcch. It's just how I was born.

Re: anyone upset with their districts reopening plan?
I’m not really sure why we’re comparing restaurants and schools.
Most restaurants have updated HVAC systems, most schools do not.
Most restaurants are operating at 50% capacity indoors, schools are notoriously over crowded.
At a restaurant, you’re there for what- 2 hours? Vs 6 hours at school.
If my child is in a restaurant, I am likely sitting right next to her and monitoring her behavior and reminding her to wash her hands, put on her mask when we get up, etc....At school....well, good luck!
And actually, I have yet to bring my child into a restaurant since March, because restaurants are really not necessary. Schools are essential, but that doesn’t mean they’re as safe as they could be for students and staff.

Yes, because our district is pushing for a full return with plexiglass barriers instead of 6 ft distancing and I do not believe this is safe. They refuse to offer a remote option.
I don't think this is even compliant!

I honestly think that would be great but it is too much money.
They do this in places all over now and have been fine. They could get more kids in a classroom that way also.

Yes, because our district is pushing for a full return with plexiglass barriers instead of 6 ft distancing and I do not believe this is safe. They refuse to offer a remote option.
I don't think this is even compliant!
Me either- I've written both Nassau DOH and NYS DOH for clarification.
But it does look like in the regs, they can use plexiglass when social distancing cannot be enforced.
It's a disaster waiting to happen and I'm beyond frustrated.

Just saw the plan. Elementary is going back full-time.
Thank God almighty my daughter is still in Elementary.
And they have lunch (in the classroom).
They are giving an option for full remote but you have to commit for the whole year to that.
We must be in the same district. This is what our plan is.

Re: anyone upset with their districts reopening plan?
I'm so disappointed. I have elementary kids, but I think every school should have made a FT attempt to reopen ALL GRADES. Some districts have done it very well. Some very impressive plans. I've perused at least a dozen of them.
In the end, the chances that the governor will shut is down again are very high. The most important thing is to make sure your district has a solid remote plan, with SYNCHRONOUS live learning.
Mine doesn't have a decent remote plan and will be going hybrid (with asynchronous learning). Hence, my children will not be attending my district this year. It is a shame that for all the taxes we pay that the parents could not have the ultimate decision. I cannot believe how inept my district BOE and superintendent have been. I've spoken with him and written half a dozen emails to deaf ears.
Apparently my "good district" is beholden to a powerful teacher's union. They want to promise and deliver as little as possible. I'll be looking to move next year. I feel the most sorry for my kids who will need to make all new friends.
The ultimate fault lies with me/DH in not being more aware of the BOE corruptness (all but one are in the teacher's union?!?) and ineptitude of the district before I bought my home. Lesson learned.

You could run for the BOE

Touche! I was thinking about that, but have no political weight in this town. That being said, I was completely out of touch before. Covid will have forever changed the way I think/participate in my children's educations. Maybe now I'll actually vote.

All plans are currently “living documents” and subject to change at any time. Contact your district about your concerns.

Re: anyone upset with their districts reopening plan?
Upset - no. I gave up being upset in July when I realized it didn’t matter how upset I was, the hybrid was going to happen regardless. The Principal was very transparent from the beginning, even when others were saying it’s too early, don’t stress and that we were going to go back full time. Well we aren’t and he was right. So I had accepted my fate.
The model sucks though: 1 week in school (YAY), 1 week remote (boo). Before care and after care are still available - so atleast that’s good. Masks all day except recess, lunch and gym (thanks Murphy). Interestingly, they are still offering the catered lunches.
I am annoyed at the fact that I have to buy all these school and art supplies for remote and for home. These costs add up. I also think the state should be supplying these extra kid masks for the schools since it’s their rule.

They are. My head is spinning the model is changing so much! And I have a feeling today's "announcement" is that we are going fully remote in September as part of our "phased in" approach.
First we were hybrid but not sure if we were A/B or AA/BB starting on 9/3. Next we were AA/BB, starting on 9/8 (it seemed but, they never said it exactly)... Then when asked last night if we are starting the in person on 9/8 we were told an announcement will be made today. Which leads me to believe we will be "phased" in - and we won't start the hybrid right away.

anyone upset with their districts reopening plan?
I was very happy with mine. There is no option for virtual. You can get a tutor if you have a health condition that does not allow in person school. Now that I’ve digested all the information, it seems like my district is screwed if we have to go remote.
The fighting on community pages is out of control over it. My new favorite is a mom complaining they won’t give her a tutor for her child with celiacs. People are trying anything to get their kids not in person since there is no virtual option. Thus created a lot of tense posts.
