Great news! Governor Cuomo has just announced schools in New York State are allowed to open for in-person instruction.
East Woods School will be opening for in-person instruction on schedule! Just a reminder, parents still have the option to choose virtual-only instruction. And as explained before, those opting to enroll for in-person instruction have the flexibility to keep their children home occasionally if they wish, as long as the children attend class virtually. While the majority of returning and new families are choosing in-person instruction, we do have a handful of families choosing the virtual-only option.
We continue to prepare carefully for all models of instruction for the 2020-2021 school year and will continue to share updates. Through our e-mail updates, we've covered most aspects of our safety plan, but we will send a link to the plan after our Board meeting on Monday, August 17.
Again, inquiries are especially active right now from prospective families. If you haven't yet sent in your child's contract, now is the time! We have to ensure our classrooms are set up properly and that we have adequate staff to accommodate every student in September.
