Pathways Reopening Plan
In preparation for reopening school in the fall, our priority will be the health and safety of students and staff. We have been working with RIDE to develop a continuum of school-reopening scenarios, which balance prioritizing the health and safety of school communities with providing in-person instruction as soon as possible. We have developed several subcommittees (Health & Safety, Social Emotional and Mental Health, Instruction and Reopening Operations) to address the components of the reopening plan utilizing the guidance from RIDE and RI Department of Health. Our goal is to implement full in person instruction on Monday, August 31st with the safety measures outlined. We want to emphasize that this is a collaborative effort and encourage ongoing communication during this time. Please feel free to reach out with questions and feedback.
