Rita's Water Ice
KDM students enjoyed a night of delicious water ice, gelatis and various concoctions with gummy bears as a main ingredient. A special word of "THANKS" to Mrs. Lanning-Guenster and Mrs. Tengwall for spending their evening supporting this event.
Back to School Night - September 24th
Back to School Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 24th. As we are still adhering to social distancing recommendations all teacher presentations will be done via a video series. Each of our teachers will be creating a short video in which they will introduce themselves and provide some information about learning and classroom expectations. All of the special area teachers and specialized programs (i.e. intervention teacher, reading specialists, speech and language, English as a Second Language, gifted teacher) will also be completing videos.
The link to access all of these videos will be provided on September 24th. You will be able to view them at a time that is most convenient for you.
Virtual or Hybrid - When will we know?
How will we determine when we can move to a hybrid model? The most specific criteria that will guide Great Valley School District's decision is the metrics identified by the Chester County Health Department. Those metrics look at both positivity rates and incidence rates in our county. If you are interested in looking at this data, they are publicly available on the PA Department of Health's website. If the Chester County Health Department or PA Department of Health change their metrics and/or guidance, the school district will adapt to that recommendation.
Tune in to our next school board meeting on Monday, September 21st @ 7:30 p.m. for additional information.
