Returning to the classroom: Greeneville City Schools

*UPDATE as of August 28 – Pre-K and Kindergarten students will begin staggered and hybrid schedules from August 31 through September 11. All students will remain fully online through August 28.

In the Greeneville City Schools Plan “Framework for safe reopening of Schools” there are several scenarios where students are required, or recommended to wear masks.
One example (page 10) is if there is no to minimal community spread and schools are open-
- All staff will wear face masks and/or shields.
- Grades Pre-K through 2 are encouraged to wear face masks, but we recognize that this may be difficult for our youngest students.
- Grades 3 – 5 are encouraged to wear face masks when social distancing (6 feet spacing) is not possible.
- Face masks covering the nose and mouth will be required by all Grades 6 – 12 students while inside the building unless a medical exemption has been granted or a disability exists which would prevent wearing a face mask.

According to the district’s website (page 23), “If parents choose this option for grades K-8 student learning, they are committing to continuing with this mode of learning for a full 9-week grading period. If parents and students choose this option for grades 9-12 student learning, they are committing to continuing with this mode of learning for a full semester. At the end of the 9-week period, students in grades K-8 would have the option to return to in-person learning. At the end of the semester, students in grades 9-12 would have the option to return to in-person learning.”
