Summary
Factors:
Hiring Custodians to support school cleanliness
Hiring a dedicated nurse for each elementary school
Working out agreements with the Westway bus company
DuPage County COVID 19 School Metrics System and Updates
Manning will house all 2nd-5th grade students. The benefit of this configuration is that it allows us to provide balanced class sizes and focus on developmentally appropriate processes and procedures to keep our students safe. Teachers working in grade-level teams will have greater flexibility to collaborate with their colleagues and support one another. This is especially important for teachers who are providing a combination of face-to-face and remote instruction.
