2020-2021 Reopening Plans for GWT
*Disclaimer
Disclaimer: Using the guidance of the Alabama State Department of Education, Alabama Department of Public Health, and the Center for Disease Control, Tuscumbia City Schools has developed a plan in order to reopen schools for instruction in either traditional face-to-face instruction, blended learning, or virtual learning. By using the most current data and understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tuscumbia City Schools will operate under this plan but is subject to change based on guidance from the above named institutions. Given the fluid nature of this current pandemic, any changes to the plan will be disseminated to all stakeholders, students, and staff as quickly as is possible. The information in this document is presented “as is” and no representation is made that the document is error free.
Welcome to G.W.T
During this unprecedented time, we understand the importance of implementing practical health and wellness procedures. The Tuscumbia City Schools Reopening Plan includes clear, actionable steps to protect our students and staff as schools reopen. And you can help, too. Parents should do daily home monitoring before students come to school. If your child has any of the following symptoms, it could indicate a possible illness that may decrease a student's ability to learn and also put them at risk of spreading illness to others. Please check your child for the following symptoms:
- temperature 100.4 degrees or higher when taken by mouth
- sore throat
- NEW uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (for students with chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough)
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- New onset of a headache, especially with a fever
By working together, we can keep everyone safe and healthy and have a great school year!
