As students, teachers and administrators begin returning to school buildings and classrooms, the priority for everyone has to be safety and staying healthy during this global pandemic. To get ready for the return to school, there are some things parents and students need to know.
During the next few weeks, the Monroe County School District will be bringing students back to classrooms slowly; by the week of September 14th, Superintendent Theresa Axford says all students will be brought back utilizing the “moderate exposure” plan from the district’s Guide to Safely Reopening Schools. “We made this decision because we think we can do it safely. We also know that parents need us to do this so they can work and support their families, and students need this in order to learn and grow successfully. Virus spread in our community is not at a high level; it has been below 7% for the past ten days, and after consultation with the health department, we believe as long as we all follow safety guidelines, students and teachers can remain safe and healthy,” said Axford. She said she will be continuing to monitor this closely as the date to bring students back approaches.
Rebecca Brown is a teacher at PKS and was nominated for a GEMS award by her principal Lisa Taylor. She has acted as a connection to their community through numerous ways. She single handedly got a lot of families through these tough time by personally showing them the resources available within our community and by building relationships.
On Saturday, August 1st, Theresa Axford becomes Monroe County’s new Superintendent of Schools, taking over for Mark Porter who has held the post since 2012. She will make history as the first female Superintendent of Schools for the southernmost county. She takes over during a challenging time as schools nationwide plan for a safe return to education for the country’s school-aged children. “I want to thank Mark Porter for establishing a solid foundation of professionalism in our school district,” said Axford. “It is because we have this solid foundation, and a great leadership team, that we are able to move through the necessary changes and challenges that go along with planning for a safe return to school in these tumultuous times.” Read the entire article in our MCSD Blog: News and Information about Florida Keys Schools
