At least some of the Vilnius Duke Gediminas Progymnasium students will not have regular lessons in the first week of the school year. The celebration on September 1 for students of different classes will begin at different times, thus reducing the number of contacts. Parents are asked not to go to the progymnasium premises.
In the coming days, educational activities will be organized for students, distance education, new rules introduced by COVID-19 will be introduced and textbooks will have to be carried.
The Rasa Gymnasium of Vytautas Magnus University did not refuse to commemorate the September 1 celebration: a grand opening of the school year is planned at the stadium. It is true that participants are advised to wear protective gear that covers the nose and mouth.

Apparently, to avoid flow confusion, the gym will try to organize the lessons for the students, except for some specific ones, in the same classrooms, the teachers will visit them in return.
Diemedis, a private school in the capital, intends to organize lesson schedules and breaks in such a way that elementary and fifth to sixth grade students do not get together, and lunch will also be held in courses , so that students in grades 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 do not gather.
For the same reasons, it is planned to mark the directions of movement of students, rest areas and play in the educational institution.
“Diemedis” announces that children will not have to wear masks at school, but parents are asked not to go unnecessarily to the educational institution, to say goodbye to the children at the front door of the school. And if you still have to go inside, use disinfectants, booties, wear a mask.
The Montessori Academy private elementary school, located in Kaunas, will be expecting parents to wear face masks in the new school year, and will be asked to disinfect their hands upon entering the facility.
In case of suspicion, the educational institution announces that it will measure the temperature of children and will not accept children with colds or other symptoms of upper respiratory diseases.
This year, the school promises to pay great attention to staff inspections, regular disinfection and cleaning of facilities, and hand hygiene. Parents and their children are asked to avoid unnecessary large gatherings and to always take the recommended precautions.

Some of the Vilnius Martynas Mažvydas Progymnasium students, sixth and seventh grade students, will be attending classes this afternoon. They will start at 12 noon to 1 pm and end at approximately 5 pm or 6 pm
The same principle will be applied by another educational institution in the capital: the Abraomas Kulvietis Classic Gymnasium. Here, sixth and seventh grade students will be assigned to the second shift and will study from 1 pm to 2 pm to 6 pm.
Parents are outraged by this schedule. It is as if they had known that they would have to study in the afternoons, they would have chosen another educational institution.
“Second shift students experience more learning difficulties because they already feel more tired in the second half of the day,” parents told the gym administration.
In addition, according to them, children assigned to the second shift will not be able to participate in extracurricular activities: to attend music schools, sports, participate in professional sports or other activities, there will be difficulties due to transportation.
Students who live farther from school (in the district) have difficulty getting out of school by public transportation.
“Students who live farther from school (in the district) have difficulty getting in and especially getting out of school by public transportation, as working parents (parents’ work hours are typically 8 AM to 5 PM) They don’t have the opportunity to bring a child, “explain the parents.
Finally, they request that the offspring can learn normally, in the morning, or by mixed contact and distance learning.
Kristina Gudelienė, director of the Abraomas Kulvietis Classical Gymnasium, said that shift training at the institution will last only two weeks. And subsequently, the lessons will take place both remotely and in contact.
“We introduced the second shift for two weeks before the students turned in the textbooks. Another problem is that some teachers work in multiple schools and the schedules must be aligned with them. And then we will try blended learning, ”said K. Gudelienė.
She noted that the gym is large, around 1,200 students will start the school year here, so there are challenges in trying to include everyone in classes. To avoid flow confusion, it is planned to designate a study room for students.
Eugenijus Manelis, director of Vilnius Martynas Mažvydas Progymnasium, regretted that students graduating in the afternoons do not have the opportunity to attend their favorite classes, but at the same time raised the question of what is more important: lessons or groups?
“It just came to our attention then. But the key question is what is more important: whether the circles are the most important or the most important is formal training.
I know that the municipality consults with schools, such as the music and sports schools, so that the children who go to the second shift can play sports and play music in the morning, ”said the manager, adding that in his progymnasium, probably some classes They will be able to go and in the afternoon.

It is understandable that there are drawbacks.
E.Manelis said that he understood that the introduction of shift training created problems with the transport of students, but pointed out that it would not be possible to adapt to all of them.
“Of course, this is inconvenient, there are questions, but, for example, the M. Mažvydas school was built in the Pilait niños district for children who live and do not have 3 kilometers before school – they were never transported.
Of course there will be drawbacks, but I do not calculate for each individual case if it will be the first shift or if it will be the second shift, “said the manager.
