Principal's Message
Dear Families,
It was wonderful to connect with families both at the Ice Cream Social and through our Welcome Conferences.
Here are answers to the frequently asked questions
- Guidelines for knowing if your child is too sick for school are attached to this newsletter.
- Students can bring water bottles to school. They can be filled at the bottle filling station or at the sink in the classroom.
- If a student needs to quarantine, they will access school work through Google Classroom using their district issued Chromebook.
- Breakfasts and lunches are free for all students and will be served in our cafeteria.
- Masks must be worn by everyone inside the school building. Masks need to be worn outside when students are within 3 feet of each other.
- Breakfast and lunch will be served in the cafeteria. Students will have assigned tables that are 3 feet apart. Once they are done eating they will put their masks on.
- Students and staff will not be eating in the classrooms. If a class has snack time, it will be done outside.
- In the classrooms, students will be spaced at least 3 feet apart as much as possible.
- We will not have volunteers on campus until at least October 18th. More information to come.

How can we help you? We have resources and will do our best to help meet the needs of our students and families. Please fill in the form below for any resources you may need.
Arrival Procedure
We are excited to return to a more typical start time this year! Our doors will open at 7:30 a.m. for students who will want to eat breakfast (free for all students). Students coming for breakfast will go directly to the cafeteria, pick up breakfast and sit in an assigned seat. They must stay in the breakfast location until it is time to go to class. All students who ride the bus will be let in upon arrival and have the opportunity to have breakfast.
Students who are not eating breakfast go to the gym. They will sit in lines by class until they are dismissed to go to class.
Parents cannot enter the building or walk their students to class. You may walk them to the gate or the gym door. If you choose to do this, please park in the parking lot.
Volunteers
We are looking forward to having volunteers in our school this year! For the beginning of the year, we want to focus on setting our routines with the students and developing powerful relationships. Depending on current health and safety guidelines, we hope to welcome volunteers during quarter one. More information to come! This is a great time to be sure that your background check is current! Go to: https://www.hsd.k12.or.us/Page/163 to fill out the volunteer application.
