Fourth through 10th grade students will return to school this Sunday, in a limited format, the Education Ministry announces.
Fourth through sixth graders will return to school for five to six hours a week, and seventh through 10th graders will return for two to three days per week.
The plan will result in all students returning to school in some capacity, as grades one through three, 11, and 12 returned last week.
According to the Education Ministry announcement, classes for grades 4-12 will not exceed 20 students.
Fourth through sixth graders will attend school on Fridays, or alternatively in the afternoon, and after first through third graders have left the campus.
Tenth graders will return for two days a week, and 7th through 9th graders will spend three days at middle schools and two days a week at campuses for grades one through eight are combined.
Middle school and high school campuses will not exceed more than 60 students at a time.
In addition, students will be required to wear masks if they cannot keep two meters apart from one another.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
