Vincennes back to school plan

Vincennes back to school plan

Schools schools across the wabash valley are working up plans for reopening during the pandemic.

The vincennes community school corporation has announced they'll return on august 6th.

//////// news 10 bureau chief gary brian tells us what the school year will look like for students.

Gar} "on the school playground kids will play red light green light to have a little fun.

This year the vincennes community school corporation is taking that same idea to help reopen during the pandemic."

Reopening will use a stop light approach.

Green means students are back in the classroom.

But being back does not mean things will be completely normal.

"certainly the social distancing.

We have large buildings, spreading our students out.

We're looking at also probably a breakfast that is in the classroom.

Our lunch we'll look at some staggered lunch times.we'll look at moving our students out.

Unfortunately some of our students may not enjoy it but we'll probably look at assigned seating."

That assigned seating will most likely also occur on the school buses.

Right now only two students will be allowed per seat.

All in efforts of keeping social distancing guidelines in a green setting.

During a red light setting all in person classes will be haulted.

In a yellow light changes to the school schedule will most likely occur.

"if we have to channel between the green to yellow, or maybe it's a yellow back to the green, will be conversations that dr. stewart and i will have and then also our board will certainly be involved with as well."

Superintendent greg parsley says the stop light plan makes change easy to make.

"is a very flexible plan.

It dosen't tie our hands with specific numbers or anything of that nature.

As we've learned with covid-19 flexiblity has to be your friend."

Gar} "the school corporation still plans on holding an open house for the completion of the franklin elementary project.

Working from home in vincennes, gary brian news 10."

You still have time to help the "vigo have time to you still news 10."
