KWED helps outline answers to questions about going back into the classroom By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Earlier this week, Seguin Radio KWED and the Seguin Daily News teamed up with the Seguin ISD to help answer a few questions about remote learning and to help illustrate what that day would look like for students this fall. Today, we take a closer look at the expectations for those students and families who choose to return to school for face to face learning. We’ll also take a look at the efforts being made to help keep kids safe while learning. Again, helping to provide parents and guardians with all they need to know about making the right decision for their student is Sean Hoffmann, Seguin ISD chief communications officer. Hoffmann reminds families that these and all other questions that they might have are available in the Back to School Blueprint document found on the district’s website, SeguinISD.net. The Seguin ISD along with the radio station and SDN hope that this bullet list featuring some of your questions will hopefully help your family better decide between starting the school year at home or at one of the campuses. Topping the list of questions is one that involves things bright and early in the morning. Hoffmann says the safety measures put into place at the very beginning help to set the tone for the rest of the day.

n addition to checking each student’s temperatures at the door, what else can parents expect as students make their way into the school building during the morning drop-off? “As the students arrive at school on day one or day 10, it’s again going to be different. Students who are on the bus, as they get to school for drop off, they will have a specific entrance. We are also looking at having entrances

for our walkers and for our car riders, so we are trying to separate those entrances, so students are not congregating as they are entering the school building. As students walk in the school building, they can be assured that the staff has taken self-screening protocols before they’ve entered the building that day. Our teachers and school staff will not show up to school if they are sick and if they have any type of COVID symptoms. Again, we are relying on our parents to ensure that their students do not have COVID symptoms, have not been exposed and are coming to school,” said Hoffmann. See CLASSROOM, page 2
