Resurrection Catholic School in Lancaster is one of many schools in the county utilizing flexible instruction days during school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Flexible instruction days allow students to continue with classroom instruction at home. All their assignments are on a platform online where they can access them throughout the day. Teachers are available to help students with assignments and are teaching lessons via video conference calls.
Students in kindergarten through third grade took home packets to work on daily assignments that will later be graded for accuracy and completion. Students in fourth through eighth grades received their daily assignments online and the assignments are graded once submitted.
As a way to bring routine to the school's students, principal Jeffrey Hughes and second-grade teacher Sister Kristen Forgotch have presented daily announcements and morning prayers to students virtually. Each morning, Hughes and Forgotch record themselves via Zoom reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, making daily announcements that include singing "Happy Birthday" to students, and a morning prayer. Students, parents, guardians, and community members follow along on Resurrection's Facebook page and YouTube account. Daily announcements and morning prayers are posted at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays during the school closure.
