Schools Releasing Re-Entry Plans

​August 12, 2020
Isaac Estes-Jones


Reeds Spring, Crane and Hurley school districts have all recently shared their re-entry plans for the start of school later this month. All three schools are set to return to classes on Tuesday, August 25. Reeds Spring is offering a virtual option for all students, grades K-12.


Students at all three schools that are attending seated instruction will find additional health precautions put in place across the board. These precautions will include efforts to promote social distancing, added times for hand washing and other measures each school deems appropriate, with some of those decisions still in process.


Masks will not be required at either Crane or Hurley for either staff or students, with the exception of food service workers at Crane.


At Reeds Spring, students in grades 5 through 12 will be required to wear a mask at all times when social distancing cannot be maintained. Additionally, these students will be allowed to remove their masks during physical activity, when eating or drinking and when social distancing measures are in place, as determined by the classroom teacher.


Staff and teachers at Reeds Spring will be required to wear masks “while working or attending a school function in any school building, facility, or other area of the school,” with certain exemptions for eating and drinking, social distancing and for kindergarten through fourth grade teachers.


Should the pandemic worsen during this year, each school has additional levels of precaution planned out, with the appropriate response determined based on the spread of the virus and state and federal guidelines.


Hurley has provided for a second level of seated school with restrictions, during which staff and students would be required to wear masks and routines be changed. The next level up is similar at all schools, with the option for blended learning, with students attending in-person, seated school two days, alternating with two days of virtual learning, allowing the reduction in the number of students at school on any specific date.


Finally, the schools have all worked up ways to continue with remote learning from home, should a class room, building or entire district be required to close.


Contact your student’s district with specific questions how that school is dealing with the continued COVID-19 pandemic.
