Tuesday afternoon Fairport Central School District teachers were let into their classrooms for the first time since distance learning began two weeks ago.

“I feel like people understand these are uncertain times. I feel that our community understands that we’ve built a lot of opportunities on the fly,” Superintendent Brett Probenzano said.

Probenzano says the teachers were allowed in to grab materials they need to teach the next two to four weeks of curriculum.

“Our goal is for them to get organized. Maybe find their favorite lesson, or a tool they’re using to disseminate information,” Probenzano said.

The teachers were let in in waves, and not allowed to stay long.

“You’ll see people exercising caution, using social distance standards, coming into our buildings and grabbing materials they can share with students during the next phase of this,” Probenzano said.

It is unclear how long the distance learning will continue, but the superintendent says he’s proud of how adaptable his community has become.

“At a moment’s notice we had to leave, and then we had to create and implement a program that, really, no one was ready to do. And now we’re ready for the next iteration of that,” Probenzano said.
