Severance Middle School
July 31, 2020
Start Date Change - Hybrid Model
As communicated in the Weld RE-4 District message sent out to families on July 17, the first days of school will look different. Our current plan is: Elementary students will start in a modified traditional schedule on August 19 after a “soft start” on August 17 and 18.
Middle and high school students will start in a hybrid model (rotating in-person and off-campus learning).
Group A: Monday and Thursdays in-person learning. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays off-campus learning.
Group B: Tuesday and Fridays in-person learning. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays off-campus learning.
This “soft opening” approach at the elementary level will allow us two days to adapt to the new protocols around getting students into buildings, taking their temperatures, keeping them at a safe physical distance throughout the day, serving lunch in a variety of spaces, implementing enhanced cleaning protocols, and enforcing the use of masks.
Transportation (if eligible) will be provided.
IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL ADVISING YOU OF YOUR GROUP, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3.

Nuestro plan actual es:
los estudiantes de primaria (elementary) comenzarán con un horario tradicional modificado el 19 de agosto después de un "comienzo suave" el 17 y 18 de agosto.
