TCCES building reopening plans
Dear Families;
The TCCES Reopening Task Force has completed our plans to reopen the building for the 2020-21 school year. Please note that we have revised the plan to comply with the order from the State of Ohio requiring that students in grades K-6 wear masks. Click here to see the complete reopening plan:
TCCES OPEN PLAN
TCC OPEN PLAN IN SPANISH
We will be open five days a week and we will accomodate those families who are uncomfortable returning to the building. The plan was developed by our own task force and staff and takes into account input received in the parent survey conducted at the end of last school year. The plan also takes into account guidance from the Ohio departments of health and education and our diocesan school office.
To make sure everyone understands the new procedures, we will have a phased approach to the start of the year. Here is the schedule:
August 17-21: Teacher meetings, training, professional development
August 24-28: Gradual reopening: Students come to school (for a full-day) only on the following days
Monday, August 24: Kindergarten (the day will include orientation and screening)
Tuesday, August 25: First and Second Grade
Wed., August 26: Third and Fourth Grade
Thursday, August 27 th: Fifth and sixth Grade
By working with small groups of students each day, we will be able to teach students the new routines and safety measures in place, assess each student academically after the summer break, and provide each student with his or her books and supplies. Students will attend for a full day and should bring with them their start-of-the-year supplies. Classes for pre-school and pre-kindergarten classes will begin on the originally scheduled dates.
We will also hold a series of parent meetings to provide you the details of our reopening plans, new safety procedures, and use of the Digital Academy program (which will replace SchoolSpeak). To limit the number of people attending, these meetings are designed for parents only. These are not the usual open house meetings but an opportunity to share important information about the start of the school year. The schedule for those meetings will be:
Wednesday, August 19, 6:00 pm: Families with last names start with A through C
Wednesday, August 19, 7:30 pm: Families with last names starting with D through M
Thursday, August 20, 6:00 pm: Families with last names starting with N through R
Thursday, August 20, 7:30 pm: Families with last names starting with S through Z
We encourage parents to talk to their children about the importance of wearing masks to protect others and themselves. This flyer can help that conversation: Mask Flyer
