Upcoming changes to Responsive & Virtual Plans
Bristol Families,
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to our district level surveys. Your responses and comments helped us think through changes we needed to make in order to be more effective as educators for the sake of each and every child. Below you will find an outline of changes to both the Responsive and Virtual Learning Plans.
Changes to Responsive Program:
- On Wednesday, October 14th, students in Kindergarten, First, and Second Grades will be returning to the building. We are so excited and eager for this transition!
- Students who will be returning to the building on October 14th will need to bring back their chromebooks (if they were issued by the District,) a mask, headphones, and a small bottle of personal hand sanitizer.
- Monday, October 12th, and Tuesday, October 13th, K-2 students in the responsive program will follow an all day asynchronous learning plan. This will give K-2 teachers time to plan and set up their classrooms in preparation for students to return on Wednesday, October 14. Students will be assigned independent activities to complete on these days.
- Additional information regarding the school day logistics will be sent out closer to the 14th.
- On Wednesday, October 28th, students in Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grades will be returning to the building. We are so excited and eager for this transition, too!
- Students who will be returning to the building on October 28th will need to bring back their chromebooks (if they were issued by the District,) a mask, headphones, and a small bottle of personal hand sanitizer.
- Monday, October 26th, and Tuesday, October 27th, 3-5 students in the responsive program will follow an all day asynchronous learning plan. This will give 3-5 teachers time to plan and set up their classrooms in preparation for students to return on Wednesday, October 28.
Changes to Virtual Program:
- Beginning on Monday, October 26th, students in our virtual program will follow a new, revised daily schedule. The new, revised daily virtual schedule can be found here.
Changes for Both Programs:
- Beginning on Wednesday, October 7th, students in both the responsive and virtual learning programs will spend Wednesday afternoons in asynchronous learning. There will be no live homeroom instruction on Wednesday afternoons (Specials will continue to be live). This is an adjustment to the daily schedule we have been following.
- Kindergarten | First | Second Grades: Live classroom instruction will end at 11:15am on Wednesdays. K-2 students will still need to log in for their afternoon specials on Wednesday afternoons using the usual classroom link. Students will also have a few minimal independent tasks to complete...i.e. reading, practice math facts, and/or handwriting. Additional details will be provided by your child’s classroom teacher(s).
- Third | Fourth | Fifth Grades: Live instruction will end at 11:15am on Wednesdays. Students still have a few minimal independent tasks to complete...i.e. reading, practice math facts, and/or handwriting. Additional details will be provided by your child’s classroom teacher(s).
Additional details will be sent out to families in preparation for the return to school on the 14th. Until then, should you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out.
