​NSPS Goal

Our goal is to re-open with the “Full in-person for All” model. To that end we will be:

  • Adjusting classroom layouts and utilizing all interior and exterior spaces in order to maintain social distancing as much as possible.
  • Organize staff, students, and schedules to form “stable groups” or “pods” and minimize widespread person to person contact and interaction between groups.  
  • Expanding school and classroom cleaning and disinfection routines, minimize use, and maximize the disinfecting of shared materials.  
  • Conducting daily student and staff screenings, adding handwashing stations, and wearing face coverings in accordance with DOH guidelines. 
  • Accommodate through distance learning students who have prior health conditions or must quarantine.  

This is just a small list. The overall changes and restructuring will be extensive. We will try and minimize any disruptions and ensure a smooth transition to instruction regardless if conditions in August allow us to re-open fully, partially, or we have to return to an improved distance learning.
