Many parents say they look forward to their children receiving an in-person middle school experience, from classroom teaching away from a screen to learning to bike to campus independently. Following mounting pressure from parents, the Palo Alto Unified School District announced last week that sixth grade will reopen in March with permitting county guidelines. Safety regulations outlined by the district in addition to their success in maintaining safe in-person cohorts for elementary school students helped to alleviate health concerns, according to Greene Middle School parent Jenny Dixon. “I think the district has shown they can do it successfully in the elementary school,” Dixon said. “Theyre just doing a really good job with all of the cleaning and health screening. The PP, the smaller classrooms, the air purifiers … weve just shown that it can be done safely.”

As Paly students begin thinking about classes to take next year, Palo Alto Unified District and Palo Alto High School administrators alike gear up amidst uncertainty surrounding a possible in person return for next year. While PAUSD Superintendent Don Austin said that class signups are unlikely to happen in the next few weeks, Paly Principal Brent Kline stated in a message to The Paly Voice that “our course selection process will continue through February and is separate from the learning/teaching model and bell schedule that will be used in the fall.”
