PLAINVIEW, NY — Many students in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District will return to classrooms for in-person learning for the first time in six months Tuesday, as schools attempt to resume socially distanced and masked instruction in the new normal. To mark the start of the 2020-21 academic year, Patch invites you to submit photos of your child's first days of school. Your pictures could be featured in a back-to-school gallery. As in past years, we want to see it all: happy, funny, sweet, unfazed, anxious, excited (or not) moments captured at the bus stop, on school grounds, and outside the classroom. You can also send us a throwback photo from your first day! Feel free to also tell us your child's favorite part of school, or what they're most looking forward to this new school year! Want to be included in this gallery? Send your pictures to [email protected]. Please include your child's name, grade and school. Note: Only submit photos that you have taken yourself or own the copyright to. By submitting your photo to this callout, you are granting Patch the right to republish it on any and all Patch sites. The state Education Department required all school districts to develop three plans to reopen: one for in-person instruction, one for remote learning and one that's a hybrid of both. In order to adequately prepare staff for the return of students, the first day of school for students was adjusted as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 8: All first though sixth grade students return to school; all L-Z students in grades seven through 12 return to school.Wednesday, Sept. 9: All kindergarteners return to school; all A-K students in grades seven through 12 return to school.
