Although Lycoming County remains in GREEN, the state-wide mitigation efforts of 6 feet physical distance and face coverings is requiring us to respond as if in YELLOW.
PHASE I – In-Person Blended (Hybrid) Instruction
This will reduce the schools daily population by 50% allowing for students to move and learn more freely without face coverings. Face coverings can be removed in classrooms, other learning spaces, and in dining areas.
Students will attend school on an A / B rotation. “A” will attend Monday and Thursday. “B” will attend Tuesday and Friday. All students will work remotely on days opposite their in-person instruction and on Wednesdays.
Changes to the A/B groups will be made for students who reside in the same household. Parents may also request that their students not attend on the same day if that is their preference.
Students with IEPs who need daily intensive instruction (For example: Life Skills, Autistic Support, etc.) will be educated in school every day. These are IEP team decisions with each family. These students will not follow the hybrid model below.
Transition to PHASE II will be re-evaluated at each academic quarter.
PHASE II – In-Person Full Time Instruction (M-F)
The district will monitor and recommend when conditions allow for a return to school every day for all students. These factors may include:
- Rate of community spread
- Changes to state targeted mitigation requirements (physical distance, face coverings, gathering restrictions, etc).
- Availability of a COVID-19 vaccine
