Mask and Face Covering Guidelines
All face masks or face coverings should:
• Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin.
• Fit securely against both sides of the face.
How many masks should I provide for my child?
We recommend at least 2. One will be worn when the student arrives to school, but a back-up should be sent in a sealed plastic bag kept in the backpack. If one gets dirty during the school day, we'll switch out the masks and send the soiled one home to be laundered.
We thank you for sending our Patriots to school with masks and the other appropriate materials to ensure safety and academic success.
Curbside Pick-up of Meals Expands to Monday-Friday. Meals will be available for pick-up Monday – Friday from 11:00-12:30.
Please make sure you continue to apply for Free & Reduced meals so your child will have meal benefits when the waiver expires on December 31, 2020.
Try these encouraging statements with your kids:
-Instead of “good job”, say “you worked hard on that,” “you figured that out,” or “tell me about that”
-You’re improving in ______________ (be specific)
-That’s difficult, but I’m sure you can work it out.
- I bet you can fix your own voice and your own attitude.
-This is hard for you, but you are sticking with it.
