6th Grade Students Return to In-person March 1st

Good evening, University School Sixth Grade Families! We are happy to announce that we will be moving our sixth grade students to a 4-day in-person schedule beginning Monday, March 1, 2021. In order to make any necessary seating adjustments to our classrooms, we ask that all of our sixth grade families please complete the following survey by clicking on this link. 

Please understand that every effort will be made to maintain 6ft. distancing to the greatest extent possible; however, due to our limited amount of classroom space most of the spaces utilized by our sixth grade students will more than likely need to follow the 3-ft. spacing guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).  In addition to maximizing our distancing to the greatest extent possible, the following safety measures, will remain in effect and be expected for all of our in-person students:

• Approved face coverings are required (please refer to the ETSU Face Covering Policy for further guidance).
• Handwashing and sanitizing should take place frequently and upon entering and existing classrooms.
• Desks should be wiped at the beginning and end of each class.
• Follow all directional signs posted throughout the building.
• Students should bring a refillable water bottle and necessary supplies for all classes.
• Remote students are expected to attend all assigned classes synchronously.  If you are absent from a class, a parent must contact the school office to report the absence.
• Students scheduled to attend in-person must have a parent contact the office if they are unable to attend in-person.

We are excited to have the opportunity for our sixth graders to return on this four day schedule (please refer to school calendar in the weekly update) on Monday, March 1, 2021. Please remember to complete the return survey as soon as possible and feel free to reach out to us if you have further questions.

With regards,

Drs. Partin & Day
