Yes the schools need to re-open. Younger kids need that interaction and social learning.
I see what 5 months of staying home did to my kids. (8 and 10).

However class sizes need to be halved.
Classes isolated from each other.
UV-C air filters installed in the class rooms.
Better cleaning.
Heath checks.

Younger kids don't learn the most important skills at home, social interaction, working together. They can't stay home for another half year. But maybe just going in the mornings would be safer. Cut out the lunch breaks at school, and do the stuff you can do at home at home.

Less time together, less people together, air filtration, cleaning, hand hygiene, face masks, it all helps to limit the spread.
