Photos: Chartiers Valley Primary School students arrive for 1st day of classes
There was none of the usual hugs or handshakes between students and staff as Chartiers Valley Primary Schoolers arrived back to school for the first day of in-person classes.
Instead, faculty members greeted students verbally, or with the occasional fist-bump, as they exited school buses or cars one at a time in an effort to maintain proper social distancing. Then, they were ushered through doors affixed with covid-19 safety signs and into halls they haven’t seen since mid-March.
Chartiers Valley families were given the option of a full remote learning schedule or a hybrid model that includes two days of in-person instruction and the remaining three days online. Students’ last names determine the two days of school they will attend each week.
