Sisters schoolsâ schedules explained
Tuesday, March 9, 2021 12:37 PM
Sisters middle and high school students began in-person learning in late January under Oregons “hybrid model,” while Sisters Elementary School has been operating largely in person since September.
For many citizens of Sisters Country, confusion and some frustration remains regarding the variations in the “hybrid” schedule among the three schools and the reasons for the differences.
The key reasons for the variations in the three schools’ plans stem from the limiting factor of physical space in relation to the number of students enrolled. The current requirement for schools in Oregon is to provide 35 square feet per individual in the classroom. Until that requirement is changed or lifted, schedule adaptations will remain.
