A Message from Superintendent Fritsch – July 8, 2021

After the events of the last year and a half, I want to provide you with the most recent information we have regarding the upcoming school year.  First, Pendleton Schools will be returning to onsite all day instruction as we were prior to March 12, 2020.  We will welcome students back on Tuesday, August 31, 2021.  Although students are returning full-time, some of the protocols and practices implemented as a result of the pandemic will continue.  I am attaching our tentative operational plans for parents to review in order for you to begin planning for the upcoming school year.

A couple of items that are probably on most of your minds are the following:

Face Coverings:  Face coverings will be optional for both students and staff during regular school hours.  We anticipate the same will be true for athletics and activities.

Vaccinations:  Covid-19 vaccinations are optional for students and staff and will remain so unless it becomes a requirement as directed by either the Governor, Oregon Health Authority or the Oregon Legislature.  At this point in time I have no reason to believe that any of the three are considering this as a requirement for school attendance.

School Hours:  Due in part to a shortage of bus drivers and the need to develop routes with limited occupancy to ensure physical distancing on busses, we will be continuing the staggered start and end times as we did last spring.  Our start times are:

Elementary will start at 8 am and release at 2:30 pm,
Sunridge Middle School will start at 8:45 am and release at 3:15 pm, and
Pendleton High School will start at 8:40 am and release at 3:35 pm.

For those who may question why the difference in times, by Oregon law, each grade level has different instructional time requirements, and in order to meet those, we must account for those differences.

Please review the operational plan document.  The Pendleton School Board will be reviewing and discussing these plans at our upcoming meetings on July 12, August 3 and August 9.

I hope that you are all enjoying the summer and that your children are staying active and healthy.  Look for my next update the week of July 26.  You should also expect a more detailed letter from your child’s school the first week of August with regards to the start-up of the school year.

Until then, stay well.

Chris Fritsch
Superintendent

OPENING SCHOOL DRAFT PLAN

*****

Mensaje del superintendente
8 de julio de 2021

Después de los eventos del último año y medio, quiero brindarles la información más reciente que tenemos sobre el próximo año escolar. Primero, las escuelas Pendleton regresarán a la instrucción en el sitio todo el día como lo estábamos antes del 12 de marzo de 2020. Daremos la bienvenida a los estudiantes el martes 31 de agosto de 2021. Aunque los estudiantes regresan a tiempo completos, algunos de los protocolos y prácticas implementados como resultado de la pandemia continuarán. Adjunto nuestros planes operativos tentativos para que los padres los revisen y puedan comenzar a planificar el próximo año escolar.

Un par de elementos que probablemente estén en la mayoría de sus mentes son los siguientes:

Cubrimientos faciales: Los cubrimientos faciales serán opcionales tanto para los estudiantes como para el personal durante el horario escolar regular. Anticipamos que lo mismo sucederá con el atletismo y las actividades.

Vacunas: Las vacunas Covid-19 son opcionales para los estudiantes y el personal y seguirán siéndolo a menos que se convierta en un requisito según lo indique la Gobernadora, la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon o la Legislatura de Oregon. En este momento, no tengo ninguna razón para creer que ninguno de los tres esté considerando esto como un requisito para asistir a la escuela.

Horario escolar: debido en parte a la escasez de conductores de autobús y la necesidad de desarrollar rutas con ocupación limitada para asegurar el distanciamiento físico en los autobuses, continuaremos con los horarios de inicio y finalización escalonados como lo hicimos la primavera pasada. Nuestras horas de inicio son:

La escuela primaria comenzará a las 8 am y saldrá a las 2:30 pm,

La escuela intermedia de Sunridge comenzará a las 8:45 am y saldrá a las 3:15 pm, y

La escuela secundaria de Pendleton comenzará a las 8:40 am y saldrá a las 3:35 pm.

Para aquellos que puedan preguntarse por qué la diferencia en los tiempos, según la ley de Oregon, cada nivel de grado tiene diferentes requisitos de tiempo de instrucción, y para cumplirlos, debemos tener en cuenta esas diferencias.

Revise el documento del plan operativo. La junta de consejo escolar de Pendleton revisará y discutirá estos planes en nuestras próximas reuniones el 12 de julio, 3 de agosto y 9 de agosto.

Espero que todos estén disfrutando del verano y que sus hijos se mantengan activos y saludables. Busque mi próxima actualización la semana del 26 de julio. También debe esperar una carta más detallada de la escuela de su hijo/a la primera semana de agosto con respecto al inicio del año escolar.

Hasta entonces, mantente bien.

Chris Fritsch
Superintendente
