After a year and a half of grappling with the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, students across the country are slated to return to school in-person this fall. However, for many, especially parents, the return to in-person instruction has brought with it a variety of worries, hesitations, and questions:

• Will my child(ren) be safe at school?
• What COVID precautions should I look for in my child’s school?
• How will schools take my child's social and emotional well-being into account?
• Is the vaccine safe?
• Should I get the vaccine?
• Should my child(ren) get the vaccine?

This Parent Town Hall is a unique opportunity for parents to share their ideas and concerns, and to get their questions answered.

During the event, panelists from the US Department of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will answer parents’ questions and address concerns around the return to in-person instruction.

Parents are invited to submit questions about the return to in-person instruction on the registration form. Pre-submitted questions will help plan the content of the session. Time will also be reserved for live questions and answers at the end of the event.
