From the Principal- Moving Ahead
Last week a child returned after a two week quarantine and while standing at the front door stated, "I can't remember if I go to my regular class, or if we are starting school all over again."
His statement sums up the looser structure that Covid-19 has brought to our lives, and the need that a return to normal brings. I can't wait to see your kids daily and just get back into the day-to-day routine of school.
We plan to keep this week as normal as possible. I've asked teachers to reteach procedures and routines, as doubling the number of students in school will undoubtedly be more difficult with more kids. Keep in mind the four-day in person schedule will allow us to contact trace and clean on Mondays. Please see some of our safety precautions below, and let me know if you have any concerns I can address.
Onward,
Rene
All In-Person Students Return Daily this Week
We are thrilled to have all of our students back this week four days a week.
Safety Precautions
- Masks will continue to be required.
- Please complete the health screening daily
- Visitors are still not permitted in the building
- Children will continue to be in pods in class, lunch and recess.
- Classes with tables or with larger class sizes will have clear barriers to separate children
- Only one grade level at a time will eat in the cafeteria. Students will be more spaced out in assigned seats, and barriers will be utilized..
- Students will have assigned areas for Recess by class, and hand washing or sanitizing will occur before/afterwards.
Carpool
- Please be patient as carpool will take longer than usual with all students returning.
Here's how YOU can help:
- Please have your hang tag with name & number clearly visible.
- If you need to assist your child, please please pull into a space rather than hold up the line.
- We will start dismissal a little earlier than normal (3:00) in order to finish on time.
