LA, 2 kids (elementary and high school) 100% virtual. One is thriving the other struggling, but we’re pushing through it. Solo parent working from home.
Fully remote first grade with a 3 family pod to help with caretaking of the small children. Massachusetts.
Same exact scenario. Going from around 11:15 to 4:00. Managing the mornings from home. Chicago.
Mandates remote so far. 4th grade so she is managing on her own. Got a part time nanny for afternoons to take her out to play while I space away at my computer.
In Brooklyn and my daughter started in person kindergarten in a Montessori school 5 days a week. We are 3 days in and so far she loves it! They have some serious rules in place, with a very diligent principal so hoping it works out.
NYC: fully remote pre-k and 1st grade. We teamed up with another family and hired a part time nanny for 4kids. It’s going ok but a lot to juggle with all 4kids zoom schedules.
Rising Star
2 days in person, 3 remote. 15 max in class, 6 feet spacing, assigned bathrooms and seating, wash and sanitize hands and desks between each class, no shared supplies, outdoor as possible, 80 total in school at one time, masked. Private school Outside Boston.
I’m in Texas, I have 3 daughters.
My oldest is in college, it’s 100% virtual learning. Struggling with it but pushing through.
My middle gal is a junior I’m high school, she’s doing virtual as well but now that in-person is open she has to be taken up to school every morning for football practice (she’s a student trainer) and later on the year she will have to go up to the school for basketball practice too.
My youngest is in kindergarten, she was virtual for the first 3 weeks but was selected in the first batch of kids to go back in person, so we just finished her first week in-person. She loves it. They are only doing 5 kids per class in person for this phase. (She already got Covid back in June, from her pre-K class and has been home since then, we withdrew her from her school based on how they handled covid. - she didn’t pass it onto any of us luckily)
The rates are lower here, a bit, that’s why they allowed in person to start. I feel the school is doing a lot and my daughter is really good at keeping a mask on and washing her hands. But mainly, since she’s already had it I hope she has some level of immunity- I think that’s why they picked her in the first batch to go back.
I didn’t do anything to help prevent spread. My sister is a nurse and was on me to separate from my 5 year old (I’m high risk, heart condition) but I didn’t. She even slept in bed with me, I was so freaked out that she had it I couldn’t not be watching over her. Weeks later I talked to the city contact tracers and later the state health department (our daycare didn’t report the illness so my naming them to the contact tracers set a lot in motion) and they said that seems to be common - that children that age don’t pass on easily to parents. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, but she never had a cough or anything that I guess really aids in spread, so maybe that is something?
We opted for virtual. We’re just east of Toronto.
NYC, chose fully remote for public school Kindergarten. No nanny, no pods.
Hi I’m also NYC and remote/“blended” (3 days in person per month starting Sept 29) for Kindergarten. We also joined a learning pod with 3 other families but after 2 weeks it is shaping up more like a daycare than “school”. I intend to keep my kid in the public school system and hope the Pod can give him some time with other kids as he goes through his online learning. Quite the headache, I admire your resolve!!!
In person daycare but it’s only 12 kids but 8 families total since there are a lot of families with multiple kids. There’s a 3 kindergarteners and they are all doing morning virtual classes at home and then join us in the afternoon at the daycare/preschool since their younger siblings are there all day. SF
Chicago > Remote Preschool = 1 hour of online ‘class’ but it is really 1/2 hour of circle time & reading a story, then talking about it (zoom style). The other 1/2 hour is where the class breaks into small groups (2-3 kids each) and they talk to each other. A topic is assigned and 3 teachers rotate in and out. An adult needs to be nearby to mute and unmute. Learning activities/homework is assigned through an app and those take about 45 minutes a day.
So far, my 4 year old enjoys it/looks forward to it. It’s awkward at certain moments, but also better than nothing. He knows his teachers and 2 kids from last year, so he started with some relationship foundation.
LA - Preschool in person 4.5 days/week. It’s a 40 kid campus broken into pods of 10 that never cross paths with each other. Masks whole time. No parents on campus. Change shoes to enter. Temp taken.
All remote through the year.
Daycare hired a retired school teacher to aid the kids. It's been rocky this first week, but hoping it smoothes out.
3 sons: 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 5th grade. 100% virtual, zoom from 830a until 145p, and it is a daily challenge to get the younger two to stick with it. That’s a long zoom meeting!
My oldest is pretty self sufficient and is moved into multiple zoom classrooms throughout the day. My husband and I WFH, but I feel like I get very little accomplished until school is done for the day. I’m constantly helping them with the various learning platforms or tech in general- not to mention the snack and water requests.
We are in Atlanta.
4 year old enrolled in (private) preschool. Smaller classroom sizes and adjustments for Covid - Los Angeles
I’m in IL. 1 in HS, 1 in Middle. Both home full time. I’m working at home too. Struggle bus here. I secretly hope they are back soon even at part time. My HS is on a 504 and that is incredibly difficult to keep him motivated and see the point when accountably is short. It’s hard.
