For the first time since March, students at U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart are back in school.
On Aug. 24, Stuttgart High School, Patch Middle School, Stuttgart Elementary School, Patch Elementary School, and Robinson Elementary School all reopened for in-person learning. The openings came amid new coronavirus restriction measures.
“We want to set expectations from day one,” said SHS Vice-Principal Vincent Power, on the high school PA system at the start of the day.
Students at the five schools followed similar precautions including extensive mask-wearing, social distancing wherever possible, hand sanitizing and washing, and delaying entry into the schools.
Classrooms were arranged to allow for the greatest distance between each other – in some rooms enough to not have masks on during class.
At Stuttgart Elementary School and Patch Elementary School, both on Panzer Kaserne in Böblingen, students lined up with their teachers before going into the building. There students learned how to physically distance themselves.
At Patch, teachers wore buttons with their images on them, so students know what they look like behind the coronavirus mask.
“Students came to school ready to learn, and teachers were prepared as well,” said Sonja Rodriguez, Patch Elementary School Principal.
