P16 Reopening Updates for Families, Students and Staff
Dear P16 Wayne-Finger Lakes Families, Students & Staff,
As you know, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to affect everyone across the state and the nation. Guidance and protocols from the Governor, local Departments of Health and the New York State Education Department are guiding us as we complete our reopening plan. The plan will need to have flexibility and will need to be modified based on the regional pandemic data and responses. Plan updates and any new guidance will be consistently shared with you.
Currently, our W-FL BOCES Reopening Committee has approximately 30 stakeholders. There is representation from each school building and program supported through P16, as well as student, parent, staff, and administrative representation. The goal of the Reopening Committee is to ensure we reopen our educational sites in a safe, efficient way, aligned to the guidelines - for students, staff, and families. There are three subcommittees (Special Education, Career and Technical Education/PTECH, and P-16) which focus on discussing communication, policies, procedures, and special programs, including adult learning. The designed plan will be communicated to all of our P-16 families and staff.
As we work through this process, stakeholder feedback is important. To begin this process, a survey was shared on July 13, 2020, to collect feedback on the reopening. This survey can be accessed at www.wflboces.org/survey until July 20, 2020. You can also share your thoughts, concerns and questions directly at www.wflboces.org/p16feedback. Please share your thoughts!
The W-FL BOCES P16 Reopening Plan that will be shared at the beginning of August (as soon as approval is received from the State) with all families, students, and staff. This will include information on all new protocols, such as school day routines for arrival, dismissal, academic guidelines, cleaning and disinfecting protocols, and expectations for both students, staff, and families. As part of the reopening Plan, we will also complete:
● Creation of a FAQ document that will be continually updated to address questions and concerns. This FAQ will be posted and updated on the W-FL BOCES website.
● We will be scheduling virtual open house meetings with each program to support any questions you might have. The scheduled virtual meetings will be included with the Reopening Plan information.
● Communication of the plan will be included in mailings, posted on the website at www.wflboces.org/p16covid and updated through Connect ed calls.
As we move forward, our goal is to continue Making Success Possible; in partnership with our students, families and staff. We thank you for your continued support as we work collaboratively to reopen schools.
