It’s an understatement to say that it’s a tremendous challenge to return to school for the third time during COVID. There are so many parts of how hard this is that we can’t touch, but we want to provide you with some resources as you negotiate the days and weeks ahead with your children:
United States Department of Education: A Resource for Parents on Retuning to In-Person Learning
Safer Schools and Campuses Best Practices Clearinghouse
Questions and Answers on Civil Rights and School Reopening in the COVID-19 Environment
CDC: COVID-19 pandemic: Helping young children and parents transition back to school
If your child has an IEP, remember that the school system is legally obligated to follow it regardless of whether learning is in-person, hybrid or virtual. We are always happy to answer questions and support you in understanding your rights. You can call us at 601-355-0915.If you have questions or concerns about the COVID vaccine, we encourage you to talk to a health care provider whom you trust.
