The Raleigh School
CARnival - The 2020 Model
After taking a really long Spring Break...The Raleigh School was happy to start back with in-person classes as of August 31st for elementary students and preschool children returned just after Labor Day. This new school year has been made more complete by reuniting with friends, both on-campus and virtually.
We were just able to host a Drive-In CARnival. Finding a way to preserve this tradition, while socially distancing took some doing, but we had nine pit stops, and over 30 missions in our online Scavenger Hunt to make the day fun and safe for all. We even had the benefit of alumni volunteers!

Alumni Parents are Back as Teachers

Classroom Adaptations + Technology Aids
The pictures show some ways we have adjusted on campus to allow for social distancing and one way foot traffic flow. Kindergarten teachers assisted children in determining 6' of spacing by using innovative designs inside the classroom. All grades have worked to structure their classrooms to give children the visual signals they need to remain socially distanced.
We also added Chromebooks and iPads to assist with virtual learning delivery to families who selected to have children participate in a virtual cohort configuration and for all Raleigh School elementary students in the event that we need to return to virtual learning during this school year. True to form, TRS is developing age-appropriate ways for technology to be used as a tool and for learning to remain engaging and project-based.
