Most of the 56 students have returned to Willow Creek School in Montana. Their experiences provide a preview of what the fall may look like.
WILLOW CREEK, Mont. — Teachers at Willow Creek School in Montana wore cloth face masks and held 6-foot-long pool noodles while a handful of students played in the grass in front of the school.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced March 15 that all schools in the state would close to in-person instruction. By late April, Bullock unveiled plans to reopen the state in a phased approach, which allowed local school boards to reopen schools to students as early as May 7. Story continues"I think it's been challenging for both the students and the staff," Lower said."Even though we're back in school and we're trying to do things normally, we do have to adjust certain things."
Students must also undergo a health screening before they enter school or board a bus. And on the buses, Willow Creek School has exceeded the governor’s recommendation that only one child occupy a seat by having students from different households separated by at least 6 feet. To do this, the school has had to add a small bus to the one large bus it used.
For the first couple of weeks, Duvall tried to let her children do the work at their own pace, but they would sleep in and wouldn't get much school work done during the day. So she implemented a new schedule that emulated a normal school day: waking her children before she went to work at 7 a.m., with specific time for regular breaks and lunch.
