Modified In-Person Schedule

All students will attend the New Philadelphia City Schools on a modified schedule with restrictions. 

Safety Precautions Include

• 6' Spacing Required at All Times 

• If grade level cannot accommodate 6' spacing, then that entire grade level goes to a modified in-person schedule.   (M/TH or T/F - Non-in-person days are remote learning days) 

It is possible that one building or grade level or more are 100% in-person 5 days per week, while other grade levels will need to be a modified schedule (Remote/In-Person)

• Students in a Level 3 Special Education class will attend in-person at least 4 days per week

• Busing continues its regular schedule with masks/facial coverings required for all riders in K-12th grades

• IEP teams will create remote learning plans for each student with a disability

• All staff required to wear a mask/facial covering per policy.

• Mask/facial coverings are required for students in K-12th grades unless one of the exceptions listed in Policy EBEA is met  

• K-12 will follow a 1:1 ratio for student-to-devices (Chromebooks)

• Enhanced & more robust cleaning, disinfecting, & PPE will be implemented in accordance with guidelines

• We are prepared with the ability to adapt Plan B, while still having all students learn in-person at school for some portion of the week. (e.g. Have teachers change classes instead of students, Lunch in the classroom, Requiring masks in hallways)

Example Modified In-Person Schedule

During any remote learning day, students are expected to complete the lessons and assignments as indicated by the teacher. The lessons will be posted by 8:00 am on the scheduled day.   Assignments will be due by 8:00 am the following school day unless otherwise indicated by the teacher.  To be considered present for a remote learning day, students need to log-into their accounts, participate in the lesson, and complete the assignments.  Daily time expectations for remote learning is between 5 and 5.5 hours.  Failure to complete lessons and assignments during remote learning will have the same consequences as during in-person learning.  Grading practices are the same as traditional in-person schooling (Plan A).   

Adjust & Adapt

As a reminder, plans are “at this moment”, and we will continue to re-evaluate based on evolving conditions, data about the status of the pandemic, and recommendations and guidance from public health authorities and the scientific community.
