KINDERHOOK—Ichabod Crane School Superintendent Suzanne Guntlow told her board that the plan for the next school year is to get the school day back to as normal as possible. But she also stressed at the June 1 board meeting that masks are still required for anyone visiting the school buildings. She told the board that the state had not removed the mask requirements for schools, so she said that people visiting school property must “continue to wear your masks at all times.”
Students will continue to wear masks and use social distancing in school. Students in the high school and middle school are still on a hybrid schedule for the rest of this school year, with some in-person and some on-line school days. Most high school students attend school two days a week with three days online. Students in grades 7 and 6 were able to come back to in-person classes four days a week recently. In grades k through 5, students have been attending school five days a week all year.
As the school year wraps up, the district will be hosting in-person state Regents exams. Some of the testing was canceled, but four Regents tests will still be given. Regents exams can only be taken in-person; there is no remote option. Read more…
