My daughter’s school was closed from March to the end of the school year (June). Then it opened for the new school year in September, and all of September and all of October were fine. School two days a week, and remote three days a week. Then in November they closed for three weeks, went back for four days, and now are closed until mid January. We just found out this past Thursday (four days ago) that it was going to close Friday, for a month. She was ecstatic. So all of her classes are remote now, 5 days a week. The reason given was that too many staff are quarantined. One of the moms told me the real reason is that since Christmas was two weeks from Friday, this enables the teachers to quarantine for two weeks so they can see family on Christmas day. I never thought of it that way and it’s a possibility, but I don’t know.
There’s the Federal breakfast and lunch program (through the FDA) where all children are entitled to free breakfast and lunch (no income requirement or paperwork required) and so I can pick up the food every day at the school if I want to.
Indoor dining is ending in NYC starting tomorrow (Monday). NYC is about an hour away.
