Green Chimneys’ Administrative Team has reviewed and updated all procedures to align with New York State Education Guidance for In-Person Instruction at Pre-K to Grade 12 Schools. During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, this document serves to provide all schools, as well as their employees, contractors, students, and parents/legal guardians of students with precautions to help protect against the spread of COVID-19.
We believe that in-person instruction is the best option for learning and receiving related support services; however, we understand the individual needs and challenges of families and youth.
GREEN CHIMNEYS SCHOOL REOPENING PLAN FOR FALL 2020
Please note that the School Reopening Plan is subject to change. Updates and policy changes will be communicated by way of the notification applications and online tools indicated in the Communication/Family and Community Engagement section of the plan.
Blossom is a 1-year-old Holstein cow, and she was born a freemartin. A freemartin calf is a common result of twin calves; the female twin absorbs genetic material from a male twin in utero, and after birth develops male traits and subsequently becomes sterile. Since Blossom can’t produce milk, the dairy farm where she was born asked Green Chimneys if we’d like to have her, and of course, we agreed! Blossom came to us around the same time as another calf named Alfie, and the two have grown up together while being cared for by staff and students alike.
