Monday Morning Message: November 30, 2020
Continuing Virtual Instruction Until January
On November 24, 2020, based on the trajectory of the virus within our community, our School Board voted to approve to remain in virtual instruction until January for most CASD students. The approved reopening recommendation includes the following components:
- Low-incidence special education students who have been in-person will remain in-person.
- A second group of full-time, supplemental special education and English Language Learner students will attend in-person beginning Thursday, December 10.
- TCHS programming will resume on Wednesday, December 9.
- Transportation will be provided for these groups of students. Parents of these returning students will receive thorough bussing information via email by December 3.
- We will continue to closely monitor the trajectory of the virus and consult with health officials to determine a return date for all CASD students as we get deeper into December.
We understand the frustration and disappointment that most of our CASD students have not been able to attend in-person instruction this school year. We are very eager to have our students back in our schools as soon as it is safe and feasible for us to provide in-person instruction. Thank you for your support as we work our way through this very challenging school year.

Attendance is mandatory for the entire day It is important that students are logging on every morning at 9:15 to their homeroom teacher's Zoom as well as in the afternoon for their scheduled related arts class and MTSS time.

21st Century After School Program
Hello Reeceville Elementary Families!!!!
My name Ms.Claudette, and I am the Program Coordinator with the 21st Century After School Program at Reeceville Elementary. This school year we would like to share some exciting news and tell you all about some new learning experiences that is going to be offered to your child(ren).
Like many schools throughout Chester County, classes are being offered remotely/virtually. Many teachers have begun to incorporate new tools and resources into their daily lessons. And students are experiencing new methods of learning which has an important, lasting impact on their educational experience. Throughout this transition, it has become very apparent that with the required physical distance between teachers and students, it is more important than ever to find ways to connect with students and keep them actively engaged, motivated and safe within the virtual learning experience.
I am excited to share with you that the 21st Century will be offering a virtual after school program. Our program will be operating Monday through Thursday. During this time your child will be provided with academic support that will assist with daily school assignments, extension activities and/or homework. Our program will also provide STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and Social Emotional Learning Enrichment.
Our 21st Century teachers will also be utilizing the Matific, educational math program. This program has over 1,500 interactive and engaging math activities and lessons. It is one of the most effective ways to help children learn the fundamentals of mathematics. Implementing Matific is an EXCELLENT way to help boost “math confidence” within children, while turning screen time into learning time.
If you would like your child to participate in the 21st Century Virtual After School Program, please feel free to contact me:

I look forward to speaking with all of you and starting this new and exciting school year!!
A Message from A Child's Care. . .
Good Afternoon CASD Families,
We are aware that CASD will be opening back up on Monday November 9th with a new hybrid model of learning. ACP will continue to offer Before/After and full day Virtual care in the schools. By now your child has been assigned their “Cohort” which will determine which day(s) your child will attend in-person learning in their school.
While your child attends in-person learning we will be able to offer Before and/or Aftercare IN YOUR CHILD’S HOME SCHOOL.
When your child will be learning virtually for the day we will be offering either a virtual school day care (9:15 am-3:45 pm) option or care for the Virtual school day plus Before and Aftercare (7 am-5:30 pm) which will be held at either King’s Highway or Reeceville (your choice).
If you require care, we ask that you complete the following forms attached and scan back to me ASAP:
-Emergency Contact and Enrollment forms
-CASD Tuition Agreement Cohort
-And either one or both Calendars for each month needing care: November; December
*How to complete attached Calendars: the tuition rates are PER DAY. On the calendar you will find a calendar key that will help you complete the form. For each day needing care please indicate which care you need using the specific letter(s) on the key. If you do not need care on a specific day please leave it blank.
You may complete either both calendars or just one depending on the care needed. Please note, space is limited.
If you complete the calendar and must make a change please make sure an email is sent to me the Wednesday prior to the week of care.
Please reach out if you have any questions at coatesville@acpkids.com.
