OPENING OF SCHOOL COVID-19 GUIDELINES

REOPEN SMART – RETURN SAFE

➢ Stage I, which will commence in August, will include the activation

of My School Online for all students.

➢ Stage II, both MSO and the 5-day Schoolhouse Model will be activated

concurrently. Students will be able to participate in the instructional

model that was selected by their families in the parent survey.

➢ Stage III, all students return to the Schoolhouse Model and MSO

becomes a choice option for those families who prefer to have their

children remain in that model for the remainder of the school year.

learning will transition to their assigned school location.

• Those who selected MSO will continue uninterrupted.

• M-DCPS will continue to monitor community transmission conditions thereafter

and will adjust as may be necessary to ensure the health and safety of students

and staff.

Schoolhouse Model (Face-to-Face Schooling)

The Schoolhouse Model will become available once M-DCPS

transitions to Stage II. This model represents a return to the

traditional in-person school environment with several significant

changes centered around enhanced health and safety

precautions. All changes were made taking into consideration

the most up-to-date CDC guidelines in order to minimize the risk

to the health and safety of both students and school staff. Limiting the physical sharing of items such a science lab

equipment, books and other learning materials. Requesting students to bring laptops to school to reduce the

passing out/sharing of papers.

Arranging student desks and/or seating arrangements to promote

social distancing.

Limiting the amount of in-class groupwork to maintain social

distancing.

Face coverings must be worn when in the classroom.
