District's Plan for Reopening Ridgefield Elementary and Middle School for Full In-person Learning on Sept. 29

At Monday’s Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Dr. Da Silva and Assistant Superintendent of Special Services Dr. Hannaway shared the District’s plan for reopening elementary and middle schools for full in-person learning on September 29.

Da Silva also shared the challenges RPS is facing especially at the Middle School level. Every hallway, classroom, and space in every school needs to be reconsidered to maximize social distancing. Every minute of the school day will be analyzed to find time for mask breaks, hand-washing, lunch, staggered dismissal, and learning to give our schools the best chance to stay open and our community the best chance to stay healthy.

Da Silva commended staff and teachers for all of their hard work. She also recognized the strain on educators teaching a classroom of both in person and remote cohorts and the difficulties of remote learning for RPS’ youngest learners.

RPS surveyed elementary and middle school parents to find out their plans for their children. Please help by filling out the survey as thoughtfully as possible so that RPS can continue to put forward a comprehensive plan that takes into account all families. Thank you!
