GROSSMONT (KUSI) – Grossmont Union High School District has moved to level three of their five-tier reopening plan.
Students in their hybrid learning model participate in on-campus classes two days a week and do distance learning three days a week.
The District began their school year on Aug. 12, 2020 starting at level one with distance learning five days a week.
Then on Sept. 28, they used County COVID-19 numbers and guidance to move students to level two, where 25% of students began coming to campus one day a week.
The district hopes to move to level four with students coming to campus four days a week, then to the last level, where students come to campus five days a week before the last day of the school year on June 3.
The new hybrid schedule began Monday and the first set of students are slated to return to campus on Tuesday.
Households who are not yet comfortable sending their children to attend in-person classes are able to continue with distance learning. Families who have a child enrolled in the district’s hybrid model but later change their minds will be able to return to remote learning by contacting their children’s school counselor.
With the safety of students and staff being prioritized, measures will be taken to follow public health guidelines, the district said.
Classrooms, offices and hallways will be monitored for social distancing, especially in-between classes. Students and staff will be required to wear face masks and temperature checks will be conducted daily. Physical distancing will also be mandated, the district said.
Beginning the week of March 1, students may attend in-person classes two days per week while continuing distance learning the other three days per week.
