The school board reversed their decision and we are heading back to full time in-person learning. Thank you to the 362 people who signed this and kept the pressure on the district. Keep watching the upcoming board agendas to ensure this transition goes smoothly for all families.

FIRST OF ALL I NEED TO MAKE IT CLEAR EVERYTHING YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ ARE NOT MY PERSONAL OPINIONS AND VIEWS. WE ALL CAN AGREE THAT WE TRULY APPRECITE EVERYTHING OUR TEACHERS HAVE DONE FOR OUR CHILDREN DURING THESE CRAZY TIMES, SO THANK YOU FOR ADJUSTING YOUR WAY OF TEACHING. SECONDLY, THESE ARE FEELINGS AND CONCERNS FROM MULTIPLE FAMILIES WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE BELEIVE WE ARE OUR OWN CHILDREN'S ADVOCATES AND OUR VOICES, FEELINGS AND CONCERNS SHOULD BE HEARD AND BEAR WEIGHT WHEN DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE.
We the parents of the
Huron Valley School District are calling for the district to follow suit, like the other surrounding school districts, and open up schools
to a minimum of 4 days a week. We understand that a cleaning day
is necessary to maintain a safe and clean environment for our children, which
is why we are willing to compromise. When the school board gave families a
choice of enrolling their children in either the virtual academy or face to
face, they blindsided the families who chose full-time face to face by voting
for a hybrid model. Their stipulation of "reevaluating" when the
state goes into phase 5 of reopening is unrealistic. All the surrounding school
districts have opened up while we, the parents, are FORCED to become educators. This selfish
decision the board voted for has destroyed working parent's jobs and
careers, but most importantly this is doing a disservice for our
children and their education.
The following are concerns and complaints from families within the school district:
Complaints about Hybrid/Current School State
Petition to Go to Full-time Face-to-Face
- The current state of HVS is that district will not go back until phase 5
- Recommend to re-evaluate and determine a reasonable date that is similar to other districts, not tied to a phase for the whole county
- Conduct research of other districts and their plans (i.e. Clarkston, Holly, Brighton, etc.)
- No access to a teacher 3 days/week
- Teachers goal is 2-4 hours/day but is more like 5-8 hours with a parent supervising the whole time. The time vary between grades and teachers
- Families with multiple children are essentially contributing 10-16+ hrs a day towards the children's school work
- We the parents accept the risks that come with our children being in school full time
- Spring virtual classes were working better, they saw their teacher every day
- Kids are breaking down into tears daily due to extreme confusion of not understanding the assignment or subject
- This schedule/setup is dramatically impacting parents job due to additional responsibility as an educator
- WE ARE NOT EDUCATORS
- This setup has caused massive anxiety for children. This is not mentally healthy for them
- Parents keep telling our children to put a note on their homework if not able to understand the subject (within reason) but some teachers are putting too much pressure on the kids that all assignments are mandatory (any missed assignment will cause them to fall behind)
- Hybrid teachers have mentioned that they hybrid classes are behind the full time virtual academy. These hybrid classes should not be so far behind from their virtual classmates.
- Families are having discussions about which spouse/ significant other should quit their job, this would add financial stress on their lives. Other families have to take their kids to work.
- Several have already quit their job
WE ASK THAT ANYONE WHO SIGNS THIS PETITION PLEASE BE A TAX PAYER IN THE HURON VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT OR ARE A SCHOOL OF CHOICE FAMILY

The momentum behind this push is real and the school board can no longer ignore our collective demand for full-time learning. Post this link to your Facebook page right now and email our district representatives to insist on a plan for four days of in-person instruction.

Please open all HVS schools five days a week. You have all done an amazing job, but suicide rates are up! Our teens are suffering. It’s not March. We must move forward now! Not November or January, now!
Hybrid / online learning is not going well in our family. It is ruining my relationships with my children as they are frustrated and overwhelmed. The teachers are doing an amazing job , it’s just not the way my children learn at their ages.
I work in the elementary school everyday. These kids need to he back. Im also a parent of a child with special needs and is having a very hard time with the hybrid.
I feel the children’s education is suffering due to the hybrid situation. It’s inconsistent and difficult for some children to deal with the constant change.
I have three children in HVS With out full time face to face schooling I have seen two of the three become withdrawn anti social and seeing them go from loving school to absolutely hating it is devastating!
I agree because this pandemic cant control our lives, can it? NOPE! So instead of being afraid of the boogeyman we should confront this so called "scary" thing.
These kids are FAILING. Get them back in class

Our kids are suffering. Parents are suffering. The Hybrid model education is sub-par. Our children need more teacher Interaction. For those who want to keep the kids virtual let them do so. Kids and parents should be allowed to chose a full schedule.
