Grades 3-5 Return to Campus on Tuesday, Sept. 29

Saint George's is pleased to report that the Spokane Regional Health District has approved our plans to bring grades 3, 4, and 5 back to in-person classes beginning Tuesday, Sept. 29.  Some students in grade 3-5 will continue to learn from home, so these classes will enter what is called a "Hybrid" model of instruction.  Please see Head of Lower School Kathy Johnson's Letter for more details and review the attached campus map for drop off and pick up locations for each of the Lower School grades.

 

The K-12 plan for the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 2 will be:

 

- Grades K-2 will have Hybrid Learning Mon., Sept. 28 through Thu., Oct. 1, with no school on Fri. Oct. 2;

- Grades 3-5 will have Distance Learning (asynchronous) on Mon., Sept. 28, then Hybrid Learning on Tue., Sept. 29 through Thu., Oct. 1, with no school on Fri., Oct. 2;

- Grades 6-8 will have Distance Learning (asynchronous) on Mon., Sept. 28, then Distance Learning on Tue., Sept. 29 through Fri. Oct. 2;

- Grades 9-12 will have Distance Learning on Mon., Sept. 28 through Fri. Oct. 2.
 

 

The SGS return to campus plan is built in stages to accommodate additional students, and for the SGS team to review procedures, plan logistics, and make additional changes as needed.  The Hybrid model has more moving parts than the current Distance Learning 2.0 model in terms of technology, staffing, daily schedules, movement around campus, and usage of facilities.  

 

"I want to recognize that this situation impacts everyone differently based on their family situation," says Head of School Jamie Tender, "and we are sensitive to the variety of ways this plays out at school.  We ask all of our community members to continue to maintain precautionary measures to stay safe and limit the spread of the virus."
