Good Afternoon,
Yesterday, I informed the District of the recent recommendations regarding school openings and extracurricular activities. The intent was to give our parents advance notice as many schools that are in Cuyahoga County will be announcing that they will be opening with a remote learning model.
I also wanted to express the unique nature and make up of our District being in both Cuyahoga and Geauga Counties as well as articulate the steps that will happen for our schools early next week. We have reached out and received some additional clarification from Cuyahoga County. We anticipate more information early next week. We have reached out to Geauga County Health Department and hope to touch base with them as well. We are NOT in a position to make an announcement regarding a change in our opening plans today. I will do everything I can to understand the positions of both counties and work with our leadership team and Board of Education to determine if any change in direction is necessary.
Today, we are moving forward as if we are opening in a hybrid and remote model for our students. We will leave registration which is

open for the weekend as this data is critical for our next steps as a District. After we evaluate and make a decision based on these new developments, we will communicate with all of our families and provide a brief window to change your option if you so desire based on the information.
I have been asked by many, "What can I do to help?" Right now, we all need to be a calming force for our children. We can work together to navigate this difficult situation, and we can also be a part of the solution when it comes to implementing risk mitigation strategies of distancing and masking.
Please know the entire staff at Chagrin Falls Schools is doing everything possible to move towards our goal of returning students and staff back to school to experience all of the wonderful things that are provided.
