2020 Reopening Report – Aug. 5, 2020
A
Hello,
everybody,
I'm
superintendent,
george
arlato,
and
welcome
to
the
first
of
what
we
envision
to
be
a
weekly
series
of
reopening
reports
designed
to
provide
you
with
the
information
you
need
to
know.
As
we
approach
the
opening
of
schools
on
september,
8th
opening
schools
in
a
virtual
environment
and
in
a
way
that
will
be
far
more
robust
than
it
was
in
the
spring,
is
a
venture
that
will
take
the
collaboration
of
everyone
on
our
aacps
team,
every
student,
every
family
and
the
many
partners
that
exist
in
our
community.
A
A
We
are
working
towards
supplying
every
single
student
with
a
chromebook
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can.
Communication
will
go
out
to
families
in
the
near
future,
asking
them
to
tell
us
about
their
children.
They
have
in
our
school
system
and
the
computer
needs
of
their
family.
We
will
prioritize
those
responses
based
on
need.
More
information
on
the
distribution
of
chromebooks
will
be
forthcoming.

Speaking
of
the
start
of
school,
there
are
six
schools
that
we
had
planned
to
open
one
day
late
because
of
construction
projects
with
virtual
learning
that
is
no
longer
necessary,
so
those
schools
crofton
high
school
corcoran,
middle
school
and
edgewater
george
cromwell
richard
henry
lee
and
tyler
heights.
Elementary
schools
will
now
open
on
september,
8th,
along
with
all
of
our
other
schools.
A
I'm
very
excited
to
tell
you
that
we
are
providing
backpacks
with
school
supplies
for
all
students
in
pre-kindergarten
through
fifth
grade
this
year.
These
backpacks
will
contain
supplies
for
all
students
to
have
equal
access
to
resources
needed
for
the
fall.
Our
division
of
special
education
is
also
working
on
backpacks
and
supplies
tailored
to
our
specialty
sites.
Developmental
centers
and
eci
classes.
A
There's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
athletics.
Earlier
this
week
the
maryland
public
secondary
schools,
athletic
association,
announced
the
postponement,
not
the
cancellation
of
fall
and
winter
athletic
seasons.
Those
seasons
are
now
scheduled
to
occur
beginning
in
february
in
a
shortened
format.
What
we
will
be
able
to
do
in
the
fall
is
hold
organized
team
practices
on
a
limited
basis.
