Hello D6 Families!
Classroom Celebration Snacks
We as a district have decided to remove this ban on students bringing in treats. There are some restrictions, so please be sure things you send in are actually aloud.
Anything brought in for the class should be store bought, with the ingredient list still attached. Treats will be given to the teacher. The teacher will clean hands then wear gloves to pass out the treat to each student.
Please do not send treats with nuts. You can also ask your students teacher if any of the students have food allergies to be sure you send a treat that all students in the class can enjoy.
Mask!!
For younger students, it may be helpful to send an extra mask in a ziploc for them to keep in their backpack.
Masking wearing, as well as watching your distance, and washing your hands continues to be extremely effective methods against spreading COVID-19.
If you are unable to afford masks for your student, please contact me and we will provide your student with cloth reusable masks. These should be washed at the end of the day before wearing again.
COVID-19 Testing
Parents will have access to a results portal to view the students test results. Since the test is a PCR test, results can take a couple days to come back. Parent/Guardian must sign their student up for this program if they wish to participate. More information on signing up will be available on our district website next week.
COVID-19 Vaccines
Some important things to note:
- The vaccine will not be offered at school at any time. However we are working to host a vaccine clinic for students and their families to receive the vaccine if they want to. This clinic will be similar to ones we have hosted in the past.
- At this time, the vaccine is not required for students. COVID-19 vaccination status will not affect your student's compliance status in regards to required health records.
- As more information is learned about COVID-19 and the vaccines, I will update our families with any changes.
