NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Important Reminders
10/5 In-person and Remote Learning begin
10/12 Columbus Day - No School
Arrival & Dismissal for Modified In-person Students Beginning Oct. 5th
Arrival at School
Supervisors will be on duty starting at 7:45 AM each day. Students should not arrive at school before the supervisors go on duty. All students will be going directly to their classrooms upon arrival at school. Classroom teachers will be outside their classroom door to greet students between 7:45-8:00 AM.
Car Riders will be entering/exiting Door 5 (back of the school on blacktop).
Bus Riders will be entering/exiting Door 4 (back of the school on blacktop). More information regarding bus routes will be communicated to families as we receive it. Thank you for your patience!
Walkers will be entering/exiting Door 2 (front of the school (Main Entrance))
Drop off/Pick Up Lane
All vehicles dropping off students must enter from Franklin (heading west). The middle lane is for passing and the right side of the drive-through is for faculty parking.
Upon entering please pull into the left lane and pull up as far as possible as to not leave large gaps between cars.
Please refrain from parking your car and leaving your vehicle. Doing so causes a back up to the rest of the families wanting to get through the lane.
To ensure the safety of your children, please have your child exit and enter from the driver’s side of your vehicle. If this is not possible, we ask that you walk them around the vehicle to the passenger side.
Special Note: Parents must send a note to their student’s teacher if there is a change in the regular after school arrangements for their student. For example, a note would be required if a bus student were to be picked up instead of riding the bus home, or if a student were riding the bus home instead of staying with the ET program. In the absence of a note, students will be told to follow their regular after school procedures.
If someone shows up stating they are here to pick up a student and we have not been notified, we will use the following procedure:
A phone call from the school office to the parent phone number listed on Parentvue will be made.
We request to see an ID to verify the identity of the person picking up.

***PLEASE READ FOR IN-PERSON LEARNING - VERY IMPORTANT***
We are SO excited to have our Cougars back in the building starting October 5th! In order to have a safe return, there are some IMPORTANT/MANDATORY changes regarding attendance. You MUST self-certify your student(s) in ParentVue EVERY DAY BEFORE THEY ARRIVE IN THE BUILDING in order for them to remain in school for the day. More information to come regarding the specific instructions in how to complete this task.
If your child has ANY one or more of the below listed symptoms, they will have to abide by the criteria listed under the box of symptoms in order to return to school.

Your student also must be picked up from school no later than 30-45 minutes after you are called if they need to be sent home with any ONE or more of the symptoms listed below. Please be sure to have emergency contacts who can be reached and available to pick up your child within this time-frame. Thank you for helping us reopen as SAFELY as possible!

The Morning Announcements
Please keep the feedback coming! We really enjoy doing these for our Husmann Community each day. Our goal is to give our Cougars something to look forward to, as well as possibly get to know a staff member a little bit better and finally to think about being safe, respectful and responsible while in Remote Learning! The National Days are a fun way to cap them off and we absolutely love receiving and then re-sharing photos of our Cougars enjoying those special days!
Should you wish to share any photos, please email us at Husschool@d47.org. Feel free to always share your pictures on social media with the hashtag #forward47 & #HUSpride as well!
