Everything appears to have gone smoothly as Greece Central School District elementary schools resumed four-day-a-week classes on Monday.
Classes resumed with three-foot distancing between students and six feet of spacing in cafeterias, meaning some students have to eat in their classrooms.
Superintendent Kathleen Graupman said in a letter to parents this is according to New York’s update school reopening guidance during the pandemic. Since Monroe County is currently a “Red Zone” for COVID transmission rates, the state requires middle and high schools to maintain six feet distancing between students. That makes it impractical to resume four-day-a-week in school classes for those classes.
Graupman says she’s submitted a middle and high school reopening plan to the Monroe County Health Department and is hoping to see it approved.
