Classroom Chairs With Arms

With the pandemic still raging and there is no vaccine, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is confident of plans to bring students back to the classroom.

Catholic district schools reopened in September at the beginning of the school year, and today many Catholic schools have waiting lists for families waiting for admission.

As enrollment rates rise, educators will celebrate the first National Catholic School Week in decades. Now, students study in classrooms that were previously dormant. The idle space of many schools has been declining for a long time, and the social distance recommended by the CDC can now be controlled.

"Our phones rang, but they still rang," said Stephen D. DiCicco, product owner.

In Tarrytown.

"Many parents want their children to be in the school building," Disico said. "They feel that virtuality is not suitable for them. We have a huge building that can accommodate 1,000 children at a time. Therefore, we can be separated."

Data from the National Education Statistics Center shows that adding three dozen students does not seem to be a big deal, but Saint Michael's University has only 187 students in the 2019-20 academic year. The enrollment of 219 students indicates that the enrollment rate for one year has increased by 17%. 

In a huge hall below St. Michael in the Church of the Archangel, the dining hall tables are now laid out, with chairs six feet apart. Floor stickers remind students to pay attention to social distancing. Even during the cold months of January, some windows remain open to improve airflow.  

DiCicco is the principal in charge of 22 years, serving the team that designed the reopening plan of the archdiocese school. The team has developed an overall plan, but the principal must design a plan that suits the building and the number of students. 

For example, some high schools adopt a mixed plan, placing students in classrooms two to three days a week. On other days, they attend classes virtually. 

In Archbishop Wood in Warminster, all students and staff must complete daily health checks before arriving at the building.

The school’s operational plan requires students to wipe the tables with hand sanitizer after class and use antibacterial cleaners after meals in the cafeteria. The students were monitored through temperature checks and sent home with a body temperature of over 100.3 degrees.

"Our goal is to provide our students with as much face-to-face learning experience as possible," said Sister Maureen McDermott, the principal of the Archdiocese Middle School.

McDermott said: "During school days, COVID safety precautions have protected teachers and students from any widespread outbreak." "Our biggest challenge is to hold social gatherings outside of school, which may not require masks or Social evacuations. In one or two cases, a good idea family hosted students overnight, causing many students to contract the virus, and the entire sports team was quarantined."

The Archdiocese did not answer questions about the overall enrollment of the entire system, even though documents on the church's website indicate that the parish school in Bucks County lost students between 2014 and 2018.

According to the National Catholic Education Association, in the 1960s, Catholic schools provided education to 5.2 million American children and youth.

According to NCEA data, the enrolment rate began to decline in the 1970s, and by 1990, only 2.5 million children had received Catholic education. 

According to NCEA data, by 2020, Catholic schools enroll only 1.7 million students, and 98 schools across the country have been merged or closed.

Although enrollment in some schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia may increase, other schools will be closed in 2021.

John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Bishop McDevitt High School in Cheltenham and St. Gabriel Catholic School in South Philadelphia are all scheduled to close in June.

In Jenkintown, Saint Basil Academy is also scheduled to close this summer. It operates independently of the church through the Ukrainian Catholic Sisterhood of St. Basil the Great.

Back at St. Michael's Cathedral, DiCicco led the morning prayer to pray for the people infected by the coronavirus.

He said: "The pressure is huge." "Teachers are heroes. They wear masks every day and follow the instructions in the building. The plan to have the courage to join and trust these children is incredible."

School furniture includes desks, chairs, teacher workstations, lockers, and other furniture used in halls, cafeterias and cabins. The design of school furniture made of wood, metal and plastic should ensure the physical and mental health of users. The ergonomics of school furniture aims to improve the overall productivity of teachers and students, while transforming the physical space into a dynamic learning environment.

The European school furniture market is driven by the growing demand for comfortable and well-designed furniture in school facilities. In order to prevent children from having health and posture problems, and to create a productive learning environment to keep students' attention and concentration, educators use colorful tables and chairs in the classroom.

In addition, there is an increasing demand for portable and adjustable furniture that can be configured according to blended learning and flipped classroom teaching styles. It is expected that other factors, such as increased demand for environmentally friendly furniture and an increase in the number of schools, will further drive the market.

North Carolina, USA-One year after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 an international emergency, North Carolina continues to debate how schools should receive education during the ongoing pandemic. 

In front of the North Carolina Governor's Administration Building in Raleigh on Saturday, the school was asked to reopen now-hold a sign, chant and speak out.

It is expected that on Monday or Tuesday of next week, Republican lawmakers from North Carolina will announce a bill that will authorize all public school districts to provide face-to-face learning and still provide virtual learning options.

In a press release, Senator Deanna Ballard (R-Watauga), Co-Chair of the Senate Education Committee, said: “In all COVID tragedies, the most preventable is the loss of learning potential. For some children, this potential will After receiving so many letters from parents and teachers, we must take immediate action to get the children back to the classroom to prevent further harm."

The legislator quoted in the press release

"Concluded, "The accumulated data now provides a way to maintain or primarily or completely restore face-to-face teaching. The author also cited data from schools that reopened for face-to-face learning in the fall of 2020, showing that they did not make a meaningful contribution to the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

The legislators also pointed to a joint UNC-Duke University study,

The study found that the transmission rate of COVID-19 in 11 NC school districts is much lower than that of community transmission during the 2020-2021 school year.

In response to a legislative announcement requiring schools to provide face-to-face learning, the North Carolina Association of Educators issued a statement.

Tamika Walker Kelly, President of the North Carolina Association of Educators, said: “As NCAE, we have always advocated that face-to-face recovery as much as possible under safe conditions and in certain parts of North Carolina. In a statement Thursday, it said: “However, in many schools, to keep educators and students safe, it is physically impossible to comply with the necessary social distancing, shelter and hygiene requirements.

"We will wait to see the details of any proposed legislation, but we believe that the decision to resume personal guidance should be left to the local education committees, who can best assess the changing local situation."

Republican Representative Jon Hardister from District 59 of Guildford County spoke with WFMY News 2 about the upcoming bill.

Hardist said: "The ultimate goal of the bill is obvious, and that is to reopen our schools." "Many students in North Carolina have dropped out of school for nearly a year. I have received messages from many parents who are worried about students. Academic achievement, social development and mental health issues."

Hardist said that in terms of face-to-face learning and virtual learning, it is difficult to generalize public schools in North Carolina, because many school districts and grades currently work according to different plans.

Hardist said: "We all know that we have to get the children back to school at some point. Schools cannot be kept closed forever." "For education, this is not a permanent situation. For scholars, this It’s not a good thing. For social development, it’s not sustainable either. At some point we must have a dialogue. I think now is the time."

Hardist said that he understands that some teachers may worry about their health, and he thinks that high-risk educators should give special consideration. He also said that he is willing to let teachers move forward in the field of vaccines.

Since the closure of the 2020 spring semester, public school students in grades 6 to 12 have not resumed face-to-face learning. Re-entry in these grades

By the school board.

On January 5, 2021, Pre-K to 5th grades in Guildford County resumed face-to-face learning.

For the private schools of the Piedmont Triad, the situation looks very different.

At Burlington Christian Academy, parents Allison Parker said that her children will start school in August 2020.

Parker said: "Our administration is very good. This year the situation is very different, but it is great for us and our children."

Her two children are in kindergarten and eighth grade. She said that the school has taken important safety precautions, including limiting unnecessary personnel in the classroom, always needing to wear masks and increasing school cleaning.

"Our teachers rotate jobs, not our children. The junior high school daughter usually changes classes, but this year she has the same class all day, so the situation is different, but they have found a way to make it work. "Parker said.

Parker’s school did switch to virtual learning in the spring of 2020, so she said that the family experienced two learning methods. She said they appreciate the time spent together, but when Parker works from home, it is difficult for everyone to stay productive.

Parker said: "Generally speaking, teenagers and children need to interact with other children and teachers." "I think this virus will continue to exist. I think this is a new way of life for us. I think ours Children need to go to school and they need to interact with teachers."

Governor Inslee has stated in recent weeks, including in his inauguration speech, that his goal is to get children safely back to classrooms across Washington. Although face masks and hand sanitizer will certainly play a key role, classroom furniture may play another important role.

Currently, the school district, architects and other designers are working together to develop strategies to plan how to arrange classrooms to ensure maximum social distance between students and teachers. Classroom furniture is a key part of the discussion.

Stacy Crumbaker, deputy principal of Mahlum Architects in Seattle, said: “When the school is considering reopening, they are considering furniture as a key component.” Stacy Crumbaker is working with the school district on this issue. "They are taking inventory,'What do I have available and how can I use it in a way that supports students in entering the classroom and doing it safely?'"

The analyzed furniture includes tables and chairs. Students and teachers can easily move them throughout the day to meet the needs of social isolation. Klubeck said that the traditionally lined up heavy, rigid tables and chairs (she called "continuous soldiers") cannot move efficiently.

A classroom furniture company thinks it can help you.

Furniture can be found in many local school districts, including Issaquah, Puyallup, Mercer Island, Federal Avenue, Mukilteo, Northshore, Kit Sap (Central Kitsap), Edmonds (Edmonds) and Stanwood-Camano (Stanwood-Camano).

Ian Sawers, manager of VS Pacific Northwest, said their furniture is light and flexible and can be moved and even changed many times a day.

The height of the table and chair can be changed to be flush with the ground or as high as the stool. Other works provide space for students to study individually rather than in groups.

"You will see that the wheels or shapes on our furniture can form shapes intuitively-rarely read corners and divide the space so you can divide the classroom." Sawers said.

Crumbaker said that these new, non-traditional designs produce a smaller "footprint" than a fixed large desk, thereby providing more free space when moving around the room.

She said: "Furniture is not the same." "You can easily move and rearrange it-change the room from a 10-person room to a 6-person room, and then change it to a 16-person room."

VS developed furniture before the pandemic to encourage children to incorporate physical movement and comfort during class. Research shows that this helps students learn better. But now, it becomes especially important because the school plans how to keep the children apart when they return to the classroom.

"This kind of furniture can be easily moved and adapted, so it can safely support learning in the COVID world," Sawers said.

However, he pointed out that any type of furniture, even furniture that is flexible and creates new opportunities for alienation, cannot guarantee that a school will not be affected by COVID. Saviles said that the decision to resume in-person learning is a decision that each region must make based on its own needs, statistics and capabilities.
