As we await further guidance from the governor and the DPHSS regarding safe re-opening of in-person learning we have determined the best plan for St. John’s School.
We will remain with our current online teaching and learning format through Wednesday, September 29th. On Thursday, September 30, there will be no classes held, and teachers will be on-campus preparing classrooms. On Friday, October 1, St. John’s will be open for all face-to-face learning. There will be no online option for students once we have returned to campus. THIS PLAN IS COMPLETELY RELIANT UPON APPROVAL BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FOR THE RETURN TO IN-PERSON LEARNING.
We feel this plan is a good compromise for the various viewpoints our families have expressed. Those who are currently off-island have a heads-up for planning their return. Families who are justifiably concerned about the current high CAR score, have a two-week window to see improved numbers. And all of us who so very fervently want to have everyone back, now have a plan of action for that to happen.
Our teachers have shown amazing talent and professionalism in converting the St. John’s curriculum to an online model. To do this for two more weeks will maintain that solid, and now predictable, teaching and learning process. However, St. John’s at its core is not an online school. Our strong adherence to the International Baccalaureate student profile from an early age, emphasizes collaboration, deep thinking and discussion, and hands-on learning that happens best when human beings come together in person.
Please continue to lend your, much treasured, support to our teachers. Talk with your children about a return to campus on Friday, October 1 (yaaay!), and remind them that there will be very strict expectations for staying safe together.
We will see you at 8:00 for Lower School and 8:30 for Middle and Upper Schools on Friday, October 1.
Sincerely,
Pat B.
