School Opening Update
September 2, 2020
Message from the Superintendent- Kristen Vogel
You will find a link to a form that we need completed by Friday. We are asking for a commitment to either hybrid or full remote learning for your children. We also need to know if you plan on using bus transportation(live beyond 2 miles of school) or dropping off/picking up this year. This information is important for us to finalize bus routes and determine set up for morning and afternoon drop off to and pick up from school.
We have also included information about materials pick ups/orientations at each of the schools and the link to our Covid Handbook.
Below you will see pictures of our signage, cafeteria and classroom set ups.
Thank you for all of your support as we plan to bring our students back to school safely and responsibly.

Lynnfield Community Schools Information
Dear Families:
We are pleased to share that Community Schools’ Child Care online registration for hybrid and remote learning days is currently open.
We ask that you take the time first to create your family's "Household" account. This will allow you to put in all of your (meaning parent/guardian) contact information, emergency contacts, and create individual accounts for your children - all under one account. This will allow for easier registration for any program we offer - including child care, after school activities, and vacation and summer programs.
As a reminder, due to the COVID-19 reopening guidelines including spacing requirements and staffing, we have limited registration availability. Registration is first come, first served; however, we are looking to prioritize families who can commit to three days of remote learning care.
Starting Tuesday, September 8th, we will open registration to families needing one or two days of remote care. We are honoring the families first who have already reached out to ask for this and will continue to process registrations as we receive them via email.
Once you are on our registration website, you’ll be able to see how the child care programs are offered. We have designed them to reflect the district’s cohort schedules. This means you’ll be registering your child for BEDS, LEDS, MSC, or REMOTE by whether they are in Cohort A, Cohort B (Blue), or Cohort C (Gold).
Our pricing is $7/hour, which is reflected in all of our pricing. For LEDS and MSC, the pricing options are based on pick-up times (as LSC has done in the past). Remote learning care is priced per day, with the three days bundled as one registration. There is only a full day option for remote learning care.
In addition, as a way to help families financially during this time, we are excited to offer a 25% sibling discount for remote learning care if families have more than one child attending on remote days. We can also offer a discount to families with free and reduced lunch.
Community Schools Child Care Schedule & Locations Cohort BEDS/LEDS/MSC (all school-based locations) Remote Learning Care Cohort A Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Wednesday (at Lynnfield Middle School) Cohort B Monday & Tuesday Wednesday (at Lynnfield Middle School) Thursday, Friday (at Lynnfield Senior Center) Cohort C Thursday & Friday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (at Lynnfield Senior Center)

We have worked hard to design a child care program that will benefit the majority of Lynnfield families, given the unusual circumstances surrounding the pandemic. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we enter this new part of the school year. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Thank you,
Sarah Perkins
