As shared previously, the District is preparing to resume in-person classes beginning the week of October 19, following the guidelines and protocols set forth in our Responsible Restart 2020 Family Guide. Unless you requested your assigned scheduled to be changed, students with the last name beginning with A-J will attend in-person on Mondays and Tuesdays, and students with the last name beginning with K-Z will attend in-person on Thursdays and Fridays.

 

In-person classes for kindergarten through ninth-graders on the "Group A" (green) schedule will begin in our blended learning model on Monday, October 19. All K-12 students on the "Group A" (green) schedule will attend on Tuesday, October 20.

 

In-person classes for kindergarten through ninth-graders on the "Group B" (blue) schedule will begin in our blended learning model on Thursday, October 22. All K-12 students on the "Group B" (blue) schedule will attend on Friday, October 23. 

 

The safety of our students and staff is our greatest concern, never more so than when we're all dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The District is working closely with Franklin County Public Health officials. We have numerous health and safety protocols in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while students are in schools or participating in activities.

We all have a role to play in keeping one another safe from COVID-19. If you haven’t already done so, please carefully review our Responsible Restart 2020 Parent Guide, found on our GoCruisers website. The Parent Guide will provide you with specific instructions you and your child need to follow when returning to in-person classes. The guide also explains what we are doing to maintain a healthy and safe teaching and learning environment in all of our schools.

Thank you for your continued support of Groveport Madison Schools. Should you have questions, feel free to contact your child’s principal or email us at [email protected].

 

Students will report to school on their regular schedule:

Groveport Madison H.S.                  7:30 a.m. – 2:10 p.m.

Middle Schools                                 8:10 a.m. – 2:50 p.m.

Elementary Schools                         9:00 a.m. – 3:40 p.m.

 

Regardless of whether your child is attending classes in the “Group A” (green) or “Group B” (blue) schedule, we will follow the District's master calendar posted on our website and attached below. Please make sure you're monitoring the calendar for important dates.

Just a reminder, a booster dose of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) and MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine is required before entry into the seventh grade, and incoming twelfth graders must have a second dose of the MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine before returning to school. If your child has not had these immunizations, please contact your healthcare provider or the Franklin County Public Health Department by visiting https://myfcph.org/health-wellness/shots/ or calling 614-525-3719. 

 

We know you want to be kept informed of anything that might impact your family during this challenging time. We have several tools to accomplish this task, but they're useless if your contact information isn't current. Make sure you check your FinalForms account regularly to verify and update your contact information.
