NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA – The coronavirus pandemic has certainly impacted schools throughout Massachusetts, especially graduating high school seniors and students in lower grades making the move to a new school in the fall.
North Attleboro’s Superintendent of Schools Scott Holcomb updated the school committee during the board’s virtual meeting on Monday night about potential plans for the middle and elementary schools’ promotion ceremonies and other memorable events for students, staff and families.
“I guess it’s like playing in a land of make believe because you don’t know for sure exactly what it’s going to look like, but the reduction of the social distancing regulations and what that may look like and so we have contingency plans being built at each one of our schools for what promotion ceremonies would look like if we had reduced restrictions on social distancing, if people could come close together versus having where we are today,” Holcomb told committee members.
The superintendent also shared a vision of how the start of the 2020-21 school year might look.
