FREMONT COUNTY — Fremont County School District RE-2 officials released a plan Monday that would bring students back into schools for in-person learning.
The county is currently in Level Yellow: Concern on the state's updated COVID-19 dial introduced by the Colorado Department of Public Health earlier this month that suggests in-person learning for counties in this level.
The school district's plan details students from Fremont and Penrose elementary schools will return to in-person learning Tuesday, Dec. 1. Officials stated that spots for the online learning program are full through the rest of the school year.
"Our staff and teachers are working very hard to maintain in-person learning for students. It is not practical to ask that teachers manage in-person and remote learning models simultaneously for the students in their classroom," the plan stated.
Students from Florence Jr/Sr High School follow a hybrid-learning model starting Tuesday. Seventh and eighth-grade students will follow in-person learning on Mondays and Wednesdays and have remote learning on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students in ninth through 12th grade will have in-person learning on Tuesdays and Thursdays with remote learning on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The district said transportation will as normal for all students. Students following the hybrid-learning model will be able to pick up extra meals for their remote-learning days while they are at the school for in-person learning.
