Good Afternoon Cape Staff and Families,
With the recently released CDC guidance and Delaware Governor Carney’s 29th modification to the State of Emergency and COVID-19 restrictions, it will be my recommendation to the Board of Education that the Cape Henlopen School District operates in a 5-day per week, full-day, in-person instructional model for the 2021-2022 school year. The District will develop plans for all students to fully return to the classroom, pending Board approval on May 27th.

Thank you and have a great evening,
Bob Fulton

As announced earlier this evening, we will be adding Wednesdays as an in-person instruction day for our middle school, high school, and Sussex Consortium students.
Beginning the week of April 12ththe two cohorts will alternate in-person learning on Wednesdays. We will begin with the Thursday-Friday Cohort attending on Wednesday, April 14th. The following Wednesday, April 21st, the Monday-Tuesday Cohort will attend in-person learning.
There will be three all remote dates for Cape Henlopen High School students ONLY, due to PSAT and AP testing. Those three all remote dates are 4/21, 5/5, and 5/12.
With the two cohorts alternating attendance each Wednesday, this ensures that all hybrid students will attend school in-person for a minimum of five days every two weeks.
In addition, the Sussex Consortium students will now attend in-person five days a week (Mon-Fri). Sussex Consortium students who attend Cape Henlopen High School will be remote on the three days that ALL high school students are listed as remote (4/21, 5/5, and 5/12).
