Archive: Phased Reopening in 2020-21
Below is a timeline of our phased reopening process from the previous school year (2020-21).
School Year 2020-21:
April 21: we expanded the four-day, in-person program (Tuesday-Friday) to 8th-12th grades and offered an additional opportunity to opt-in, so that all students who wish to attend fully in-person can now do so; Mondays will remain remote so that we can continue to offer assemblies and other large events, as well as in-person social opportunities
February 27: students and families were offered another chance to "opt-in" for the in-person program; many elected to do so, including 100% of the 6th grade and 93% of the Middle School overall
January 27: staggered return began for all students, with 6th-7th graders attending class in-person on Tuesday-Friday and 8th-12th graders attending on alternating days; all students have the option to remain in a fully remote program and will be able to join all their same classes via a livestream
January 4-22: following the holidays, students wrapped up the Fall Semester in the remote program with in-person Monday programs on January 11
November 30-December 18: 6th and 9th grade (our main "entry years") returned for in-person instruction, with the latter group alternating days; in-person Monday events continued for additional grade levels, along with Middle School sports programming
November 9-16: in-person grade programming began on Mondays
How the Year Began:
In September, Burke began the school year in our high-touch, fully-remote program, which features four days of synchronous instruction from 9 AM - 2:50 PM and one day of community events, co-curricular programs, and office hours. Optional, in-person athletics programming was added in mid-September (all outdoors).
