Montana City plans on five-day a week schedule

Montana City School released its reopening plan for this fall, which includes a five-day a week schedule and a request for parents to transport their students when possible as the pandemic continues to be a threat, according to the draft plan released Monday.

School begins Aug. 26.

Students will attend face-to-face classes in grade-level cohorts. Tony Kloker, school superintendent, clarified it was part of a plan “to have the students stay with the same group of kids throughout the day.”  This is designed to reduce large gatherings in spaces like the library, gym, cafeteria and playground. Lunch will be served in the classroom. The school will only be open to students, family members and staff, according to the draft plan.
