- fully virtual for an extended period of more than just 14 days  

- location could be in red zone, which means that they have greatly increased their number of Covid-19 cases in a short period of time

- can be the safest option for places that have very high Covid cases 

- teachers are not juggling some students at home and others at school 

- children have a consistent routine of school at home 

- students lose the social aspect of school

- since people are so comfortable at home they could fall behind in school

- no structure 

- no one to hold students physically accountable if a parent is not present at all time 

​

- splits the school into groups which come into school on specific days of the week 

- to limit the number of people in the school and therefore limit the spread within the school 

- more children are brought back into the school 

- a good way to phase everyone back into school 

- if there is a Covid outbreak it is easier to quarantine one cohort than the entire school

- very stressful for teachers as they are now juggling students in school and at home 

- students may start to feel overwhelmed by the constant change of in school and at home 

- can also be very confusing 

- close to what the school looked like before Covid-19 hit 

- school is back with all students going either 4 days a week (one cleaning day) or 5

- students will be required to wear masks at all times and socially distance 

- students are able to come into school with everyone 

- this is the closest option to making school feel "normal" 

- allows teachers to also feel a sense of normalcy 

- some people may not be comfortable coming back to school full time 

- some schools may not be able to accommodate doing fully open 

- might put some stress on students after having a year of school being very different to almost completely back to normal
