“Today the active COVID -19 case count in Coffee Coffee reached 285. While the number is at the moderate spread level, Manchester City Schools is announcing a probable shift to its hybrid schedule on Wednesday, August 12. A hybrid schedule means that students will receive a combination of on-site and distance learning.
Pre-K – 2 will continue to attend school on the traditional schedule during regular school hours, Monday through Friday.
Grades 3 – 8 will move to the A/B rotation that was communicated on August 5. Students in Group A will attend in person on Mondays and Wednesdays. Students in Group B will attend in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fridays are Distance Learning days for students in grades 3-8. Exceptions to this schedule have been communicated to affected families.
The impact of going to a hybrid schedule will reach many in our community. We are currently examining alternatives for families with students in grades 3 through 5 who need child care assistance during the school day. That information will be communicated by Tuesday, August 11.
Please be aware that once a change is made the school district will remain on the hybrid schedule for an extended period of time. The case rate will have to remain below .5% for at least two consecutive weeks for the district to move back to the traditional schedule.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these unprecedented times.”
Respectfully,
Joey Vaughn
Director, Manchester City Schools
