When do pgcps go back to school

Students hugged each other, and some had face-to-face conversations with peers and teachers for the first time in over a year. Experiencing this was heartening to high school junior Alvaro Ceron-Ruiz. Currently, the school system has various precautions in place: mask requirements for students and staff, at least 3 feet of social distancing, disinfecting at the end of the school day and increased airflow in classrooms.

Students had the option of returning to in-person classes, while instruction also remained virtual for those who chose to opt-out of that option.

Though it has required a transition, Ceron-Ruiz said, instruction in the classroom allows for less distractions while learning. At lunch, students can choose to sit inside or outside. If they sit inside, students will scan a QR code at their table to allow for contact tracing, Ceron-Ruiz said.

If a student were to contract coronavirus, the school would provide written notification to staff and families if there was confirmed or possible exposure. The student would then have to quarantine for at least 10 days and be free of symptoms before going back to class. Unvaccinated individuals who came into contact with this person would have to also quarantine for 10 days.
