Most of the overseas schools in Europe and the Pacific will open Aug. 24. Regional calendars are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dodea.edu\/schoolCalendars.cfm\" target=_blank>here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials have launched their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dodea.edu\/returntoschool.cfm\" target=_blank>Return to School website<\/a>, which lays out their plans to reopen their 160 schools in 11 countries for an estimated 69,000 students, with all the protections under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students may be attending school on a regular, full-time basis, but it will be far different. Social distancing, face coverings and other preventive measures will be in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will remain flexible and prepared for any contingency,\u201d said Tom Brady, director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2019\/10\/30\/students-at-dod-run-schools-continue-their-run-with-nations-top-scores-in-reading-math\/\" target=_blank>Department of Defense Education Activity<\/a>, in his message to parents, students and school staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have always believed that instruction in the classroom is the optimal learning environment for most of our military-connected students. Restoring teaching and learning to the familiar environments of our classrooms, provides students with stability and continuity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur preferred goal will be to return to school on a regular, full-time schedule for both students and staff,\u201d Brady said. \u201cAlternating days, half-days, or staggered schedules do not allow us to fully support the military mission,\u201d he said. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2020\/06\/19\/heres-some-advice-for-military-parents-with-extra-worries-about-kids-fall-education\/\" target=_blank>vast majority of military children<\/a> attend public schools around the country, some of which are still struggling with how or if they will reopen. Various school districts around the country have opted for some of these different re-opening plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, Brady acknowledged that some families may have circumstances where they don\u2019t want to, or are unable to, send their child back to the school building setting. Some students have health or other concerns related to the pandemic that will prevent them from returning to the building. DoDEA is providing its virtual school platform for those students to continue their learning remotely, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoDEA has been planning and coordinating with local installation and community leaders in order to ease the safe return for students, he said. The implementation of social distancing will look different from school to school, he said, as leaders account for their student needs, building configurations, Health Protection Condition levels, installation conditions, and local government regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoDEA officials have outlined guidance in a publication called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dodea.edu\/upload\/Ensuring-a-Safe-and-Healthy-Return-to-School.pdf\" target=_blank>Ensuring a Safe and Healthy Return to School<\/a>,\u201d for social distancing for Health Protection conditions Alpha, Bravo and Charlie regarding classrooms, corridors and common area, cafeterias, buses, playgrounds and large group events. In HPCON Charlie, schools are closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Health Protection Condition changes, and school closures are necessary, the schools have a contingency plan to transition to remote learning, as they did when schools closed earlier this year due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School principals will communicate information through school newsletters, social media and school websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is natural for all of us to yearn for a return \u2018to the way it was\u2019 before the coronavirus and before the closure of our schools to students,\u201d Brady said in his message. \u201cUnfortunately, all of us face a \u2018new normal\u2019 in the wake of a continuing global health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DoDEA students experience the &#8216;new normal&#8217; while returning to their regular
