BRASHER -- St. Lawrence Central School is placing emphasis on providing more in-person teaching to its youngest students as local districts make plans to reopen this fall.

Pre-K students will attend four half-days, with learning activities being provided for families to complete on Wednesdays.

District officials say kindergarten through fourth grade students will attend four days per week with remote learning on Wednesdays.

Students in middle and high school will be divided into two groups and attend two days a week.

All parents will have the option to have their children learn completely remotely if they wish.

The Department of Health strongly recommends that face coverings are to be worn by all individuals at all times, school officials said. Once in six-foot distanced instructional seats, students might be allowed to remove masks pending further guidance from health and medical sources. Students will also remove face coverings during breakfast and lunch. Teachers will also provide mask breaks throughout the day.

Staff members will be required to complete a daily screening APP that will be reported to their direct supervisor.
