The Bridgeport Public Schools
Rotation Protocol
Grades K-8(This document serves as an addendum to the BPS Reopening Plan)
Parents have the right to change their decision regarding “in-person” learning for their children until September 30, 2020. Parents may change from “in-person” to remote learning only after September 30, 2020.
*This decision will remain in effect until 12/23/20 (Winter Recess)*
After 9/30/20, no parent/guardian can change to “in-person” learning until December 15th, 2020.
Any decision that is made on 12/15/20 to return to “in-person” learning will go into effect on 1/4/21 (after winter recess).
*This gives the school enough time to prepare for the entry of additional students in a safe manner that is aligned to CDC guidelines around social distancing.
“In-person” learners can move to remote learning at any time with 24 hours advance notice given to the school.
*This give families the opportunity to make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their children.
After 12/15/20, decisions made to return to “in-person” learning will be used to determine a rotation or a hybrid model by the Bridgeport Public Schools effective 1/ 4/21.
On or before 12/23/20 parents/guardians will receive written notification of the district decision to ensure time for proper planning.
The decision to implement a hybrid model in the elementary schools is a district-level decision and will require the Superintendent’s approval.
For the purpose of this document we have defined Rotation and Hybrid below:Rotation: This schedule is an attempt to maintain as close to a full-time school schedule with students being assigned a day/days to work remotely to ensure safety protocols and social distancing are maintained in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Hybrid: This schedule will mirror the guidelines used at the high schools whereas the following would be implemented:
The hybrid schedule will be as follows:
- All students with the last name beginning in the letters A-L will attend Monday and Tuesday
- All students with the last name beginning in the letters M-Z will attend Thursday and Friday
- All students will be on remote learning on Wednesday
