Dear Barrington 220 Community:
On Tuesday, Jan. 19 Barrington 220 will implement Hybrid 2.0, with a commitment to continue following these five CDC mitigation strategies:
- Consistent and correct use of masks
- Social distancing to the largest extent possible
- Hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette
- Cleaning and disinfection
- Contact tracing in collaboration with the local health department
While we are aware that the health metrics (Metric #1 and Metric #2 listed on our coronavirus webpage) continue to exceed the Step 3 (Hybrid) thresholds, our public health officials have advised that school districts can safely implement a Hybrid mode if the five mitigation strategies are in place.
The transition to Hybrid 2.0 will impact the school calendar as operational transitions are made related to transportation, food service, and staffing. Please note the following key dates:
-
Jan. 12: Elementary classroom assignments available in Infinite Campus at 7pm
-
Jan. 15: No school for all students as staff prepare for transition to Hybrid 2.0
-
Jan 19: Hybrid 2.0 begins
