Fully Remote Final Day 7.31.2020

Dear McKelvie Families~

As a reminder, today is the last day to opt in to a Fully Remote Model for the first semester of the 20-21 school year.  All students are defaulted into the Hybrid Model, unless parents fill out the Opt-In Form, located in the body of this message.  If you have questions that are not answered in the information below,  please call me at the school at 472-3951.  

The Bedford School District has developed a Hybrid plan that supports the health and safety of our students, while providing in-person learning. We strongly urge students and parents to opt for the hybrid model; however, we also understand each family has their own set of circumstances, which may preclude them from participating in this model. 

To help you better understand the options available, please read the following explanations:

Hybrid Instruction

Remote Instruction

If you are choosing the remote only option, please fill out the form below no later than Friday, July 31. You do not need to fill out the form if your child is participating in the district’s Hybrid model as your child will automatically be placed into the Hybrid model. The form below should be filled out for EACH STUDENT in a household who is electing to learn through the Remote instruction model.  In order for our schools to develop plans for staffing and schedules, we ask that you make a commitment to your choice for the first semester (August 27, 2020-January 15, 2021). Please fill out THIS FORM if you are selecting remote instruction for your child.

We have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions in order to help families better understand some of the specifics outlined in the Hybrid and Remote plans.

Each level has developed a calendar that is helpful for students who are participating in the hybrid model. These calendars will give you a schedule of when your student will be in the school buildings and when they will experience distance learning. 

Here are the K-8 and district schedules:

Transportation

In an effort to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, we encourage families to utilize their own transportation to and from school, if possible. However, bus transportation will be available. Students will be required to wear masks when riding and sit with siblings to maximize our seating capacity. Students will sit one to a seat unless the numbers do not allow, and then we will seat two to a seat. After each run, buses will be cleaned before a new group of students boards. Families will receive further information prior to the start of school. 

Sincerely,

Jen Asdot
