Hello Morgan Families,
In case you missed the emails earlier today.....kids are returning to hybrid in person learning starting Tuesday, January 19!!
Hybrid schedule means our students in grades K-6 will follow the AM/PM attendance rotation with the AM running from 8:20 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and the PM session running from 12:30 p.m. until 3:10 p.m. An updated email with AM/PM assignment reminders will be sent out next week. Please note that we do not have space to switch AM/PM preferences at this time. The AM/PM schedule was created to limit class sizes and support social distancing while in person.
There is a slight change in the hybrid schedule. The week of January 19, students will attend either AM/PM in person on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The following week, starting January 25, students will attend AM/PM in person on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday will be a remote learning day for all students. All students will meet remotely with their teacher in the AM on Wednesday, with PM students attending their AM special as usual, while the AM students work in small groups with the teacher. In the PM on Wednesdays, all students will meet after lunch for attendance/check in. AM students will attend their PM special as usual. Teachers will work with students in small groups, individually, or assign independent work for students to complete. Your child's teacher can provide a more detailed schedule for Wednesdays.
Our hybrid in person learning is scheduled to continue through February break, barring any unforeseen spike in Covid conditions. UCS will communicate next steps for in person learning as we approach the February break, determining if we will continue in hybrid learning, expand days, collapse days, etc. All will be based on current health/safety conditions in Macomb County with input from the Macomb County Health Department.
We are so excited our Morgan Rockets will be returning to in person learning!! This will be the first in person learning for our 5th and 6th grades this year and we are eager to see them in the building! Please know we will continue our diligence of cleaning, hand washing, sanitizing, and social distancing, to keep our students and staff safe as we return to school. We will not screen students as they arrive as parents are expected to perform a self screening at home prior to sending their child to school. If we suspect any illness while a student is in person, that student will be moved to our health care room (science room) and parents notified. Again, UCS/Morgan will continue to follow CDC and Macomb County Health Department guidelines for student/staff health and safety.
If you have further questions/concerns with in person return, please contact the main office at 586-797-5800.
Have a good week!
Mrs. Lasky
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sue Lasky
