A: In adherence to the health and safety guidelines, students in grades PreK - 8 will remain in one classroom for the majority of their school day. With the exception of lunch, mask breaks, and specific outdoor times, students will wear masks at school and on district-provided transportation. Students will also eat lunch in their classroom to limit transitions and reduce exposure to other student cohorts. Additional teachers and specialists will visit students in their classrooms and limit the occasions to bring them out to another location. To help illustrate how these provisions will affect daily routines, there is a plan to share videos with families about what classrooms will look like. 

A: Students will be provided with social emotional opportunities each day, and they will also have new opportunities like outdoor learning. The nurses will be providing students with lessons around proper mask wearing to teach children about safety and teachers will assist students as they are learning to wear their masks. Repercussions for not wearing a mask would only occur in the event of defiance. 

A: There is no easy answer to this. We understand that this has created many struggles for families. The schools must provide an environment (and learning model) that balances safety and and family needs. The plans are driven by guidance from the department of elementary and secondary education. The youngest children and families will have the opportunity for full time in-person instruction.

A: We may not be able to accept these individual requests however please direct this question directly to your school principal as there may be a possibility at your school

A: There will be additional custodial staff to address this issue. However, teachers will be expected to use good common sense and do what is feasible to help keep their room as clean as possible. Teachers have always been supportive of custodial staff in helping to keep things clean. Disinfectant wipes will be readily available in all classrooms to periodically wipe down services as needed throughout the day, when a custodian is not immediately available.

A: Some of the schools will have plexiglass for certain teachers that will need to work more closely with students. In general students will all be seated at their own desks

A: Yes, we have had a terrific response from the community.

A: We are limiting visitors to the school. There is a plan to share videos with families about what classrooms will look like.  

A: Space in the classroom will be very limited however there will be outdoor learning opportunities. Since students can not share materials play centers will not be found in the classrooms. 

A: At the elementary schools, space has been allocated to allow all students selecting the face to face learning option and keep 6’ distance throughout the school day (guidance allows for 3’-6’).  At MP, LAW, FHS - with the hybrid model, 50% of the student body would be in the school on any given day.  With some students selecting 100% remote learning, this number would be reduced to a lower percentage.

A: Modeling expected behavior, building routines, procedures and through practice students will receive the necessary instructions for safe distancing. 

A: Talk to a caring adult.

A:  Good idea. The Falmouth Health Department and Barnstable County Health Department are working to bring rapid testing options to the region. 

A:  Each school is currently having ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and operations being evaluated.  

A: Yes, cleaning supplies that meet sanitation requirements and are safe for student use will be provided by the district.

A: This information is contained in the master plan, and will be further communicated through flowcharts developed by the nurses in collaboration with the board of health.

A: At this time testing is not being recommended. 

A:  Contact tracing will occur for every positive case.  If a student is exposed, the parent will be contacted and the student will be quarantined.  

A: Teachers and support staff will be aware of and recognize the anxiety that COVID-19 has created, but also empower us all with the belief that we can control how we respond to the situation. Additional supports and care will be in place for our students.  

A: If students feel well enough we encourage them to engage in remote learning while at home.

A: The district will be following the CDC, scientific standards, and the Massachusetts Medical Professionals guidance.  The District will respond accordingly.  

A: The Falmouth Public Schools will follow the Governor's travel orders.

A:  Staff will be provided with the PPE that is required for their position.

A: Contact Tracing will occur for every positive case.  If a student is exposed, the parent will be contacted and the student will be quarantined.  

A: Substitutes are being assigned to schools through October when we will assess continued full time needs.  Substitutes will attend the first 10 days of professional learning. 

A: Massachusetts and Falmouth have maintained very low numbers and percentages.  Following the established metric, Falmouth is in the green and safe to return to school.  

A: The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does not recommend taking routine temperatures.

A:  To keep our staff and students healthy and safe, students should stay home when not feeling well.  

A: At this time the Falmouth Public Health agent and the VNA are working together to complete the contract tracing. 

A: The Korean Study

A: The parents/guardians will be strongly encouraged to have their child tested. Regardless, the school nurse will be communicating a flow chart which describes the process for reentry to school.

A: The district nurses, along with input from Dr. Parkinson are developing videos for the students about COVID-19 and safety measures. 

A: The Weekly COVID-19 Public Health Report, hosted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, is the metric provided by DESE. It is the DESE’s expectation that districts’ learning models will follow this color-coded metric unless there are extenuating circumstances identified after consultation with local boards of health. This includes reviewing additional metrics, such as whether cases are increasing or decreasing, the local test positivity rate, and other contextual factors. We will be monitoring this data weekly, along with routine discussions with the Falmouth Department of Health. Although Falmouth is in the green and the chart indicates we should be full in person, we are unable to meet the safety requirements as stated in the DESE’s guidance for grades 5-12 which informed our decision to adopt the hybrid model at these grade levels.

A:  As long as there are no inappropriate images on the facemasks, there are no Dress for Success restrictions. Facemasks, like belts, socks, shoes, headbands, scarves will be a way for students to have some fun with their outfits within the Dress for Success initiative.  

A: Students will be assigned to cohorts which will be assigned an established learning space.  Each cohort will then be split in half (this may vary depending on individual student learning needs) creating an A and a B group of less than 10 students each.  Following the phased-in structure of the first couple weeks, students will fall into a routine of having a remote week, and a face to face week.  Each week will have face to face on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with Wednesday being a remote day for every student.

A: Students in grades K-2 will have a remote teacher and students in grades 3 & 4 will be assigned to an in-person classroom and their classroom teacher will also be responsible for the remote learning.

A: At Falmouth High School, approximately half of the students in a course will be in-person when the other half is remote. Instruction will be delivered with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous content. There is no prescribed amount for each format. That will be determined by teacher teams to best match the content area and developmental needs of the students. There will be times when those in-person and those learning remotely will be engaged in collaboration to complete partner and small group work.

A: We are planning for 6 feet to follow the safest protocol set by the CDC.  

A: The guidance is three to six feet apart for the edge of the chair to the edge of the chair. 

A: While current health guidance from the state allows a safe distance range of 3 feet to 6 feet with a mask, Falmouth Public Schools is adhering to a 5-6 feet distance guideline.  Information on DESE’s guidance can be found at www.doe.mass.edu  

A: Teachers and related service providers supporting students with complex special needs will be permitted to instruct and support students at a distance closer than 6 ft.  Additional PPE will be required in these instances.

A: Yes. We recognize the impact that masks have on individuals wearing glasses, however, all students and staff are required to wear a mask unless they have a signed Mask Exemption Form, completed by the healthcare provider.

A: Each school will also have a space or spaces designated for teachers to bring their classroom to take a mask break.  Masks can also be removed for physical education or outdoor activities if students are placed 10 feet apart.  

A: Exceptions to mask/face coverings will be made for those with medical conditions. Documentation will be required. 

A: All students will be required to wear a mask unless they have a signed Mask Exemption Form signed by their healthcare provider.  Parents/Guardians are encouraged to engage in this discussion with their healthcare provider to better understand the necessity and appropriateness for the individual child.

A: Upon further consultation with our school physician, FPS will be updating the mask requirement to include all students in grades K- 12, including post graduate students.

A: The present DESE guidance requires students in grades 2-12  to wear mask/face coverings that cover their nose and mouth; however, upon consultation with our school physician and CDC recommendations, we will be requiring all students in grades K-12 to wear masks. Mask breaks will occur throughout the day when students are at least six feet apart. When outside students may remove their masks as long as they are six feet apart. 

A: Students and staff should wear two ply medical grade masks. No gaiters, bandanas, or masks with valves will be allowed.

A: All students will be required to wear a mask unless they have a signed Mask Exemption Form signed by their healthcare provider. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to engage in this discussion with their healthcare provider to better understand the necessity and appropriateness for the individual child. Per the Department of Elementary & Secondary Education Fall Reopening Frequently Asked Questions, as of July 10, 2020

Exceptions to mask/face covering requirements must be made for those for whom it is not possible due to medical conditions, disability impact, or other health or safety factors. Face shields may be an option for students with medical or behavioral challenges who are unable to wear masks/face coverings.

A: Yes, staff will be permitted to take mask breaks with students provided that all physical distancing requirements are met. Additionally, the district has purchased masks with clear openings for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, students with complex special needs, and access to language acquisition.

A: Classes will be assigned to cohorts of 9-22 students for in-person learning at the PreK-4 buildings.  Grades 5-12 approximately half of the students will report to school for one week of in-person learning.  Building specific plans are being developed and will be released before the start of school. 

A:  A hybrid model would be half the typical class size 9-13 students.

A: Classes will be assigned to cohorts of 12- 18 students for in-person learning at the PreK-4 buildings.  Grades 5-12 approximately half of the students will report to school for one week of in-person learning - most classes will be between 8-12 students (>10 @ LAW)

A: Falmouth Public Schools has provided professional development (PD) focused on the creation of digital classrooms, beginning in the spring and continued throughout the summer in GoogleClassroom and Schoology. In addition, teachers have engaged with Modern Teacher for professional learning centered on blended learning pedagogy. The spring PD was mandatory, and the summer PD was voluntary. Continued PD will start up again in September and be used as a catalyst for sustained collaboration and planning. 

A:  Fourteen commercial quality tents have been secured for the district which would allow for outside classrooms

A: The expectation is teachers will be teaching remotely from school. 

A: Synchronous (live) content will also be recorded so that students can access it when they are able to do so. If a family is experiencing issues with internet access, or other technology challenges, they will be encouraged to reach out to the district technology department for assistance.  

A: Learning will move forward with new content.  

A: As always the curriculum is driven by the standards. Teachers have been planning and working together to look at practices for the upcoming school year. 

A:  The amount of time for each mode of learning will be tailored to meet the developmental needs of the students. The expected amount of content for both modes will, however, be greater than what was generally delivered in the spring.

A: The Pre-k will look different as all classrooms will look different. Teachers will be creative and adjust their practices to this current situation with safety procedures embedded. 

A: They are coordinating on these discussions.  All three schools will follow a one week in person and one week of remote learning model.

A: Pre K instruction will be provided at individual student work spaces and each child will use their own materials. All physical distancing requirements for Pre K students will be the same as all students in grades Pre K-4.

A:  Instruction can be continued remotely if a classroom is quarantined.  

A: In grades K-2, students will be assigned to a classroom teacher as well as a separate remote learning teacher. For grades 3 and up the in-person teacher is also the remote learning teacher; therefore, if they switch between models, their teacher should remain constant. 

A: Through an agreement made between the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Massachusetts Teachers' Association (MTA), the school year has been reduced by ten days, which will become professional development days for teachers to help them shift and strengthen their instructional practice.

A: Please reach out to the Special Education Building Administrator with questions about student specific Individualized Education Programs.  

A: Students who are identified as “High Needs” on their IEP will be allowed to attend full time.  All other students will use the hybrid model. All 504 accommodations will be provided in the hybrid and remote learning environments.

A: All staff entering a classroom will use hand sanitizer and masks as required.  Additional PPE will be provided for special education and related service providers if they need to provide services closer than 6 ft. Some staff will be providing instruction and service delivery across multiple settings.

A: This will be addressed on an individual basis as written in the IEP with all safety precautions in place. 

A:  Falmouth Public Schools will be following the guidance provided by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on providing daily in person instruction to students with complex and significant needs. Students with disabilities who are considered high needs in the hybrid model will be identified by their Primary Disability/Level of Need as indicated on the PL3 page of the IEP.  The PL3 informs the services provided outside of the general education classrooms; the need for service providers that are special education teachers and related service providers; and special education services that constitute more than 75% of the school day.

A: All services specified on IEPs will be delivered. Service delivery, including push-in services, pull out services, and virtual groupings will be determined by student specific service delivery grids.

A: Yes, all services will be provided as articulated in the service delivery grid of the IEP.

A: Yes, special education evaluations will resume upon our return this Fall and will be expected to meet the State required timelines.

A: Grading will work as it did in the past prior to the school closure. Teachers will indicate which assignments and assessments will count towards the final grade as they did in the past. 

A:  Students will be graded this year in the same manner as they had been in the past.  Teachers and administrators will address possible instances of academic dishonesty consistent with the policy detailed in the school handbooks. 

A: Specials will take place in the classrooms or outside when possible. 

A: At the elementary level students will not be switching classrooms for specials and most schools are able to provide meals in the classrooms. It is a building based decision that is based on space. Students must be six feet apart to eat lunch. 

A:  Specials will be offered in the classroom and/or outdoors for each cohort.  Students will not travel to specials.  

A:  At this time, playground equipment will not be available to students. 

A: The band (and chorus) programs will look different at each school based on the model and . The guidance for these programs is prohibitive for schools in regards to physical space, and particularly challenging for schools that are preserving cohorts of students.

A: At the elementary level the Librarian will be traveling to the classrooms. Students will be able to check out books and these will be disinfected prior to being shelved again.

A:  Recess is scheduled for 30 minutes at the elementary level. 

A:The plan for the elementary schools will be to have students outdoors as much as possible. 

A: We will plan for music classes outdoors when possible since singing will not be allowed in the classroom. Students will be allowed to sing outside if they are 10ft apart and wearing their mask. 

A: Yes, the district has prepared recorded videos to assist families on both platforms.

A: Yes this has been secured.

A:The principals will work closely together to coordinate sibling’s schedules across the district. 

A: Remote content will be delivered with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous content. There is no prescribed amount for each format. That will be determined by teacher teams to best match the content area and developmental needs of the students. 

A: The hybrid learning model involves a combination of remote and in-person learning. Students will attend school for in-person learning for one week and then access remote learning at home the following week. 

A: The expectation for turning in assignments will differ by grade level and may not be daily.  Attendance will be taken daily and students working remotely in the hybrid model will be expected to engage with their learning.  

A: The current options are for full in-person learning and full remote, if a family chooses the latter. A hybrid model will be employed if conditions warrant a change for all elementary grades. 

A: Yes! Families are able to revise their decision. There is a need to notify the school’s administration team two weeks prior to the planned return to in-person learning. 

A: It does reduce the number of students in a classroom. However, we are able to safely bring back our elementary students in the in-person model.  

A: Every remote learner will be assigned to a classroom teacher. 

A: Synchronous material will be recorded, so families can access at a time that works with the families schedule.

A: Families can elect to resume in-person learning if they first choose remote and vice versa.  To return to in-person learning, the district will ask for a 2 week notice in order to plan for the student’s return.  

A: If families select the 100% remote learning model, their children will engage in their learning both synchronously and asynchronously. This means that a portion of their students’ instruction will be conducted live; it also means that a portion of their students’ instruction and completion of assignments will be conducted independently or virtually in pairs or small groups. While learning each day will be structured with the school’s in-person daily schedule in mind, deadlines for work will be set with appreciation that some students working remotely may need some flexibility for asynchronous work completion.

A: The district has purchased cameras for live teaching for every classroom. 

A: Remote learning is organized by the Falmouth Public Schools.

A: Yes, at Morse Pond, Lawrence, and Falmouth High School, students engaged in the fully remote learning model will be assigned to the same teachers as those who are engaged in the hybrid learning model. 

A: No, the cohort and its teacher would move between modes together.  

A: Procedurally, DESE created a process of preparing and submitting a School Reopening Plan that could be done with knowledge that it is a dynamic one that can be revised in response to changing health trends. As a designated step in the process, principals conducted feasibility studies to determine how many students can be safely distanced in each classroom. With that information, they had to determine how they could meet the requirements of all three models (i.e., in-person, hybrid, and remote) and then elevate one of the three models as the one that would serve as the foundation for reopening schools. The School Committee votes to endorse the plan. The School Committee approved the plan on August 6, 2020.  

A: Establishing and scheduling cohorts is a complicated process. Given the challenges of this unique scheduling season, it would be difficult to honor.  

A: A survey for families to make their final decision will be sent out during the week of August 17th. The soft opening schedule is being discussed between administration and the Educators’ Association.  The first student day is September 21, 2020 and the first week will likely be remote.  

A: The District Calendar and school schedules are created collaboratively by the District. School schedules should be released the week of August 17, 2020.  

A: This is a work in progress. Teacher assignments will be determined based on the result of the families decisions about how they will return to school. 

A: No.  The school day remains the same.  In a block schedule the class time increases.  

A: The state has decreased the time on learning expectation for 850 hours for elementary schools and 930 hours for secondary schools for the year.  For in-person learning, arrival and dismissal times will need to be staggered, so that structure will decrease time on learning.  

A: Traditionally a supplies list goes out to families in late August. This year, with the precautionary measures, students will be limited in what they can bring to school. The school will be providing students with some basic supplies that can remain in the building at their assigned learning space. A majority of the work will take place on their chromebooks, so they should be prepared to bring this to school each day. Schedules will not be ready to go until closer to the start of the school year. Bus pass information is also forthcoming. 

A: At present, reopening teams at each of our seven schools are confirming their daily and weekly schedules. As soon as those are complete, instructional schedules can be developed and a more detailed response to this question can be made. 

A: The principals will  work closely together to coordinate sibling’s schedules across the district. 

A: Falmouth High School is planning on a staggered passing time between classes.

A: We will plan to do kindergarten screenings during the months of September and October.

A: Cleaning in the building will be scheduled during the day and in the evening. Plexiglass will not be separating desks. PPE and hand sanitizer will be available in every room. Students will have student safe sanitizer wipes available to wipe down their own desks.

A: Since there is an emphasis on not having parents and volunteers in the schools, the plan for all parent/school community meetings including “meet and greet” are to be virtual at this time. 

A: Yes, Morse Pond School will now reopen with a hybrid schedule.

A: Contact tracing will be used to determine who will need quarantine. Specialists do not see every student every day.  

A: All four elementary schools will be in person learning or 100% remote learning.  Building specific plans continue to develop and fine tune details. They will be released upon completion. 

A: For purposes of attendance, grade reporting, and information management, all schools in the District use PowerSchool as the single Student Information System (SIS). However, there are several features in PowerSchool that will need to be built and implemented before parent/guardian access to PowerSchool can be created. 

A: At Lawrence, students will not be traveling from class to class.  But time between classes will be increased (up to 5 minutes) to allow staff that are moving time to get their instructional tools/ materials from room to room, and to disinfect.  At FHS, we have increased the time to give students time to safely get to their next class. 

A: At Lawrence we are planning for 5 cohorts per team in 30 learning spaces. The maximum number of a cohort would be 20, so with the hybrid model, there will be less than 10 students per class.

A: This is a challenge the Lawrence School administration is working through.

A:  The Morse Pond schedule will follow the Lawrence School’s and FHS ‘s Hybrid schedule of one week in person learning, one week remote learning.

There are numerous other SAT and ACT testing dates at different host locations in the surrounding areas. Students need to check with testing websites for information related to changes and cancellations.

A: Falmouth High School’s annual college fair is canceled. At present, there are no plans to bring college and university representatives to Falmouth High School. These will become virtual events as will the previously scheduled senior parent/guardian nights.

Senior Parent/Guardian College Admissions Night Thursday, September 17, 2020

Senior Parent/Guardian Financial Aid Thursday, September 24, 2020

Many colleges and universities are also hosting student campus visits virtually.

In addition, many colleges and universities are now test optional, which means that they may have revised how they consider test scores during the admissions process. Students should check with their college of choice concerning any testing requirements.

A: Guidance counselors will meet with students virtually if a student is remote. In-person college tours will not be permitted at this time, however, some institutions may offer virtual tours.

A: All students enrolled in Falmouth Public Schools will have access to the same grade level curriculum provided by the district.

A: There is no official deadline for withdrawing your child, but as soon as you have made your decision please notify the principal.

A: There would be a co-teaching model. Students would stay connected to their assigned classroom. 

A: There is no official deadline for withdrawing your child, but as soon as you have made your decision please notify the principal.

A: A survey is scheduled to be released the week of August 17th with a submission deadline of August 26th.

A: A survey is scheduled to be released the week of August 17th with a submission deadline of August 26th.

A: To begin our school year, visitors will not be permitted in the schools. We will find creative ways to be welcoming to our families. 

A: Yes 

A: Yes

A: A survey is scheduled to be released the week of August 17th to families to make their final decision.

A: Homeschooling is different from students who choose remote learning and remain students of FPS. Remote learners continue to have access to class content. The technical definition of homeschoolers limits the districts’ involvement in their curriculum as they are no longer enrolled in the district. 

A: The homeschooler term is different than students who choose remote learning but remain students of FPS. Remote learners continue to have access to class content. The technical definition of homeschoolers limits the districts’ involvement in their curriculum. 

A: Falmouth Public Schools receives state money based on the number of students enrolled in the district. Once a student is approved for Home School education they are no longer enrolled in the district.

A: It is very helpful for families to drive their children or encourage their children to walk to school. We are creating bus passes for parents who require transportation. If you do require transportation and have NOT already responded to the district survey please reach out to the school principal or the district transportation office. At this point there seems to be availability on bus routes. 

A: Students will be assigned seats, busses will only have about ⅓ of the students on the bus. 

A: Schools will begin and end  on a staggered time schedule. All buildings are developing safety plans to accommodate the possible increase in the traffic flow. 

A:  Schools are developing staggered drop off and pick up to decrease the number of cars in the line.  

A: Students should expect to see the teachers that they have seen in our school buildings in years past. Many of the subs that have worked in our schools will also be returning. They may see our substitute teachers more regularly though, since they will be on hand to support school personnel with the increasing challenges that come with distancing guidelines and adaptive school schedules. 

A: Before the school year has even started we have identified dedicated substitutes for each school building that will be a part of the training days prior to students returning to school. 

A: Health and Safety and the impact of the reopening of school plans on working conditions. 

A:  The YMCA would identify cohorts and maintain them for before and after care. They will have distinct staff to student limitations.  EEC guidance would eliminate any drop in options.  

A: At this time, field trips will not be permitted.

A: Walkie talkies and intercom. 

A: Parents /guardians have been extremely supportive and helpful through this unprecedented time. I would encourage parents to check with their students' individual teachers, PTO and building principal to offer and or receive aid.
