Life in Hybrid Mode

By Reaghan Grobe

To navigate the halls in a more organized mannerand to adhere to social distancing, students in the hybrid model are instructed to abide by the red and blue signs.

To make lunch a safer environment since students will need to remove their masks, the shared lunch tables have been replaced bydesks that are sixfeet apart and face in the same direction.

There is a small roped off section in the hallwayoutside of the cafeteria where students also eat their lunch. Because of all the spacing, the hallway was needed for additional seating.

Students can choose where they sit, and they are told to sit in the same spot every in-person day. This rule is enforced to make contact-tracing for students who may test positive for COVID easier to identify.

In a normal setting, the parking lot would be bustling with students catching their buses or getting into their cars. Now, the lot appears scarce due to the half capacity rule.

Students are required to wipe desks every class period, and theyare encouraged to use hand-sanitizer often.

In the hybrid setting, there are about 15 available desks in every classroom to keep distance between students. The class pictured is Mr. Oswald's hybrid group A of second period AP Human Geography.
