Sixth-grade students attending Eulalie Rivera Pre-K to 8 School and kindergarten students in Ms. K. Plaskett’s class will have a necessary schedule adjustment effective Wednesday through Friday, the Virgin Islands Education Department announced to parents and guardians Tuesday.
This temporary adjustment is part of ongoing maintenance efforts to mitigate the challenges of the school’s modular and to ensure that learning environments are conducive to the well-being of all students and faculty in these specific classes, according to the press release.
Maintenance personnel are working diligently under the guidance of the Health Department to meet all required standards. Additionally, repairs to the school’s cafeteria have been successfully completed, and a thorough deep cleaning will be conducted to allow meal services to resume starting tomorrow. However, repairs to the kitchen area are ongoing and the VIDE will keep the public updated on its progress. In the meantime, meals will continue to be prepared at an alternate kitchen location but will now be served in the Eulalie Rivera cafeteria. It is important to note that the cafeteria and kitchen are two separate areas, the press release stated.
During this period, only the sixth-grade classes and only Ms. Plaskett’s kindergarten class will be affected. These students will receive asynchronous home instruction. Detailed information and instructions will be provided to parents and students through the school’s communication platforms. In-person instruction for these classes will resume on Monday, Aug. 12, the release stated.
It is important to note that all other classes at Eulalie Rivera Pre-K to 8 School will continue with full in-person sessions and will not experience any interrupted instruction, it said.
