Lapel schools open in person
LAPEL — In-person school, for all Lapel students, began Thursday, Aug. 13.
That plan now has a variation after the latest report from Madison County Health Department.
Frankton-Lapel Community Schools and other schools in Madison County have had to put full-time traditional education on temporary halt following Friday’s information.
County junior high, middle school and high school students have gone to a hybrid format in which time will be split between in-person schooling and virtual learning.
“The first few days of school went well,” assistant superintendent Sterling Boles said, via email. “The students and staff were excited to return in person and get back into a routine. Students, teachers and staff adapted well to the new guidelines and social distancing rules and appear to be doing their best to consistently use model practices to promote a healthy environment.”
At the end of last week, the health department reported moderate community spread of COVID-19. With the in-county spread going from low to moderate, schools moved to a hybrid system on Monday.
The report is based on the entire county, not just the school systems.
Frankton-Lapel Schools superintendent Bobby Fields sent an email to parents notifying them that he and other county superintendents receive reports from the health department each Friday.
In the email, Fields informed parents that a decision, with the consultation of health officials, will be made each Friday for the following week of classes.
The decision is dependent on the county-wide severity of the spread on average over the previous seven days.
Elementary students will continue in-school learning but will have heightened safety and social distancing rules.
Coming into the school year, 10.8% of Lapel students in kindergarten through 12th grade were attending school virtually through FLCS Academy.
Beginning this week, South Madison schools moved to Level 3 in its plan. For Pendleton Heights High and Middle schools, their Level 3 is a similar hybrid learning system where students split time between in-person and virtual learning.
For the three elementary schools, Level 3 is traditional schooling with enhanced safety and social distancing protocols.
South Madison schools opened Aug. 6 at Level 2, where all schools were operating traditionally with enhanced safety and social distancing protocols.
Superintendent Mark Hall said heading into the school year, for all schools, 82% of the student body elected to come back to in-person school with 18% choosing to do virtual education.
For both school systems, the in-school classroom work is on a rotation based on the family’s last name. At Pendleton Heights, students are separated by the school colors; one is a Green Team and the other is the White Team.
Both corporations are making exceptions to the rule when there are families with multiple last names in the same household, so they would not have to go on different days.
At Lapel, it is based on the last name of the youngest child attending the hybrid schedule.
