Dummerston School Updates

July 9, 2020

Dear Dummerston School Families,

In spite of the challenges and worry we all continue to confront, there is no stopping the beauty of summertime in Windham County, and I hope you all have had the chance to rest and play with your loved ones this July.

As I explained last month, Governor Scott has instructed schools to prepare for reopening in the coming school year. This summer I am working with our district leadership team under the guidance of our new superintendent Andy Skarzynski to design protocols and procedures in line with the Agency of Education and Vermont Department of Health’s safety and health guidelines. At the same time, as we plan for in-person instruction, we are also developing contingency plans that allow us to move rapidly into a hybrid or distance-learning environment should circumstances during the school year necessitate this change.

Over the course of the summer, Superintendent Skarzynski and I will be communicating with you as plans evolve and solidify. This will necessitate more frequent summer updates than would be expected in a normal school year. Attached, please find a letter from our superintendent with an overview of our planning process.

In addition, this coming Monday, June 13th, at 5pm, Superintendent Skarzynski and I will be holding a Zoom parent forum for Dummerston School parents. This forum will serve as an opportunity for you to meet Andy, learn about the status of our reopening plans, ask questions, and provide feedback. Below, you will find a Zoom invite for this meeting.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would just like to check in. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you on Zoom on Monday!

Sincerely yours,
Julianne
