school this fall may or may not be that different than last year regarding the pandemic. Wendi Britt is a third-grade teacher at Waters Elementary school in Lubbock. She said her school is requiring the same regulations as last year excluding the mask mandate. “Last year we required their masks being worn, keeping them 6 feet apart, sitting by t h e s a m e p e o p l e a l l y e a r, checking temperatures within the classrooms and sending them to the nurse as needed,” Britt said, “We will be doing all of these things for this upcoming fall semester, the only difference is that masks are optional for the kids.” The educator said she plans to continue enforcing lots of handwashing, sanitizing, social distancing, and limited access to her in class library. “I could not let them have access to the library last year, but this year I am hoping to let them use some of our books, we have many online books and resources, but it is so much
better for them to pick up an actual book than a device,” Britt said. Mrs. Britt thinks safety will be great in her school this year, just as it was last year. Her students did not have a single Coronavirus case within the classroom last year. “The school is being extremely cautious, so I am not worried about our kid’s safety, what worries me are the kids who take our online classes and how behind they get sometimes,” Britt said. “If a child is sick, they absolutely need to stay home, but parents have to be careful because some of them will use that to their advantage,” Britt said. She said that cleanliness in general is going to be extremely important this year. Parents are going to have to be extra cautious at home, and make sure their kids are practicing healthy habits in public places. • Parents should be aware of their children’s school supply list and look out for any healthrelated products. • L u b b o c k I S D s c h o o l supply lists can be found at https://www.lubbockisd.org/ Page/7789.
