SOUTH HADLEY Students in South Hadley Public Schools are slated to begin a phased-in return to in-person learning on Feb. 22, after learning remotely since December.
Under the plan, which the School Committee approved in late January, high needs students at all grade levels will return to their buildings on Feb. 22. At the middle school and high school levels, students whose parents are essential workers or have other critical child care needs will also return on this date.
On March 1, all students in kindergarten and first grade will return to Plains Middle School, in addition to the children of essential workers cohort. The essential workers cohort also returns to Mosier Elementary School at this date, while students at the middle school and high school will begin hybrid learning.
