Hanover: School Committee Holds Virtual Meeting on Reopening Plan

by | Aug 18, 2020 | News

The Hanover School Committee held a town-hall style meeting to answer questions on the school re-opening plan for September.

The meeting focused on the hybrid learning plan, transportation, and other safety measures that are being taken due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Assistant School Superintendent Debbie St. Ives said they’re doing their best to ensure personal connections for students and making things feel like a regular school day. Their planning was based on survey results and feedback from parents and teachers.

“Our goal is to have this very organized platform where students will be doing independent project-based work, because I think we all know that they shouldn’t be staring at a screen for six hours – that’s not a best practice,” said St. Ives. “But we need to be creative in delivering content. That’s where our focus and the work is going now.”

Daily cleaning protocols will be in place for common-touch areas, and extensive cleaning will take place on days when students are learning remotely.

School Superintendent Matthew Ferron says with the modified schedule, they have enough busses to safely accommodate students. But, parents need to log in and answer questions through Aspen to help staff better formalize plans.

“We need families to make a decision – are you going to opt into the virtual academy or not?  If you are going to come to school on a hybrid model, hopefully some day our full-time model again, will you be using the school bus,” said Ferron. “Those are two things we need to answer, because they set up many of the things we are trying to do in our next phase.”

A deadline was set for parents to respond by Thursday at 5 p.m.

The re-opening plans are posted on here.
