District 50 Reopening Plans After Today’s Called Meeting

This morning at a Called Board meeting, the Greenwood School District 50 Board of Trustees voted to move the start-date for the 2020-2021 school year from August 18th to August 24th. I have attached the revised calendar to this email. This calendar can also be found on our website.
 
The Board also voted on requiring face coverings for students and staff while on the school bus, while entering/exiting vehicles,  in hallways, in restrooms, in the cafeteria, in the media center and in other areas of campus as directed by school staff. I have attached the Pandemic Safety Expectations PDF to this email as well.
 
Thanks again for your patience and support during this time. We appreciate all of your questions, suggestions, and comments in helping us prepare for the upcoming school year. Don’t forget to continue to encourage parents to complete the Back to School Commitment form on our website! The deadline is Monday, July 27th.
 

Per Board policy all students and staff must adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure the safety of others and themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic:
● Adhere to social distancing (​to the extent possible)​.
● Wear a face covering that properly covers the nose and mouth when social distancing is
not possible.
● Face covernings should be worn while on the school bus, while entering/exiting vehicles,
in hallways, in restrooms, in the cafeteria, in the media center and in other areas of
campus as directed by school staff.
● If needed, a face covering will be provided by the school.
● Face coverings that are offensive in nature or that cause a disruption are prohibited.
● Students with documented medical conditions and religious beliefs that prevent them
from wearing a face covering should contact the principal. (Parent/guardian may initiate
contact)
● Hand washing/sanitizing upon entry to the school building, classrooms, cafeteria, etc.
should be practiced throughout the day.
Failure to follow the safety guidelines and persistent disobedience may lead to loss of face-to-face instruction and assignment to the virtual learning program. Prior to removal from face-to-face instruction, the following disciplinary steps will be taken:
● Verbal warnings
● Parent conferences
