This afternoon, Ridgefield Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Susie Da Silva today the District’s learning model for next week:
* Elementary school students will continue into the full in person learning model (a reminder that schools are closed on Monday and Tuesday of next week).
* SRMS and ERMS continue to remain in hybrid.
* RHS also remains hybrid, however, due to the number of families who are opting for Temporary Remote Cohort C, families choosing in-person cohort A/B are able to attend five days in person. Please contact your school counselor at RHS with any questions.
Da Silva said that daily cases of COVID-19 have seen a steady decline in Ridgefield since mid-January, with most recent numbers reporting at 18.3 new cases per day per 100k population, as of February 7th Ridgefield COVID-19 prevalence data. "We also enjoyed a 48 hour period this week when no students or staff were in quarantine due to exposures at RPS," she said.
Da Silva asks that the community remain vigilant with mitigation measures outside of school hours.
Most specifically, we ask that the community partner with us continue social distancing, masking, and hand washing. The length of the COVID-19 pandemic can have a fatiguing effect on us all, but it is critical that we not relent with the safety practices that we know have made the biggest impact on keeping us all safe," she said.
