The ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ remains committed to communicating all elements of this reopening plan to students, parents and guardians, staff and visitors.
As part of its planning for the reopening of schools and the new academic year, the ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ has developed a plan for communicating all necessary information to staff, students, parents/guardians, visitors and education partners and vendors. The district will use its existing communication modes – including the use of the ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ website, Blackboard Connect phone blasts, emails and social media – as well as appropriate signage and training opportunities to support the dissemination of consistent messaging regarding new protocols and procedures, expectations, requirements and options related to school operations throughout the pandemic. Communications through Blackboard Connect will be sent in both English and Spanish and communications on the website will be shared in English and can be translated into multiple languages using the Google Translate tool on the ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ’s website.
To help inform our reopening plan, ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ School ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ solicited feedback and input from stakeholders, including administrators, faculty, staff, students, parents/guardians of students, and health care providers and staff unions. Engagement efforts included online surveys, virtual forums/meetings and one-on-one conversations. The plan is available to all stakeholders via the district website at www.bayshoreshools.org and will be updated throughout the school year, as necessary, to respond to local circumstances. Anyone who has questions about the ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ’s reopening plans can email communityservice@bayshoreschools.org.
ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ School ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ’s Assistant Superintendent for Business, Maureen B. Virsinger, will serve as ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ School ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ’s COVID-19 Coordinator to ensure that the district is in compliance and following the best practices per state and federal guidelines. Krystyna Baumgartner, Public Relations Specialist, will serve as the central contact for schools and stakeholders, families, staff and other school community members.
