     •     Going back to school this fall will require schools and families to work together even more than before.
     •     Schools will be making changes to their policies and operations with several goals:
                o     Supporting learning.
                o     Providing important services, such as school meals, extended daycare, extracurricular activities, and social
                      services.
                o     Limiting the transmission of COVID-19.
     •     The CDC has created a checklist to help with back to school planning for school year (SY) 2020-2021.
     •     If your school uses a hybrid model, you may want to review both the in-person and virtual/at-home learning
           checklists.
