I pray that you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend with your family. What a nice break for all of us to relax and recharge!

Thank you to everyone that attended our Parent Meeting ~ we had representation from families from preschool to 5th grade! There was great questions and conversation around clarification of the COVID procedures as well as supporting our students remotely. See below for more information and next steps.

We are had our first Parent's Association meeting last week on ZOOM. Many creative ideas and enthusiasm for our SKS students ~ we are building our school-family connections, One Event at a Time! Thank you to our Room Parents that attended and those that attended out of love for our school. We left there with ideas and next steps for fundraising for technology and ways to bring us more in connection with our alumni. The schedule for the upcoming Parent's Association meetings can be found below. We hope to see you next time ~

All K-5th grade students have finished their I-Ready diagnostics in ELA and Math. We use this information to determine any support services that our students may need this year. Classroom teachers also use the diagnostic, along with other assessments, to place students in learning groups. When students have completed each of the diagnostic areas (ELA and Math), they will be able to access the instructional component of I-Ready, at school and at home. Their diagnostic results will place them on a learning path ~ with teachers given the ability to modify the pace and difficulty depending on the individual student. Teachers will be sharing login information with families after the diagnostics are complete ~ Please see your child's teacher if you have any questions regarding I-Ready.

We will bring a little Halloween fun to our SKS school on Friday, October 30th. Our students will have the opportunity to dress up and participate in a Halloween parade around our school campus and we will have a whole school BINGO game with prizes. The parade will begin at 9:00 when the students will exit the school through the main entrance and walk the loop around the school building. Families will be able to park around the school and be able to watch the children as they parade. Unfortunately, families will not be able to join the parade or to attend the Halloween festivities inside the building. Parking will be on the side of the driveway away from the school to allow cars to move freely through the campus. Please wait until 8:30, when Car Lines have ended to park your car for the Parade. Refer to the Halloween Costume Guidelines for information about appropriate costumes. Students must have a signed permission slip in order to wear a costume. Thank you!

God is good ~ all the time! All the time ~ God is good!

Peace and Light!

Daily Health Certifications for your child have begun and we have many families already going into the PUP program to do their child's health screening each morning. Please take the time to go into PUP and learn the steps to complete your health certification each day. Car Line teachers will be asking to see your child's "Green" ~ All Set to go!

Please remember:

• ... to place your Car Sign in your front window so that the Bus Teachers can see it from afar. It makes it easier when we are looking to call students from the hallway or the gym to be dismissed from the building.

Thank you!

Some major points ~

• Telemedicine appointments will be allowed as a way to see your child's Health Care Provider (HCP) for next steps or "All Clear" letters
• HCP's have been given more ability to determine next course of action when a child has a COVID-19 symptom.
• The toolbox papers below give very easy to read and understand guidelines to help families when their child is sick and to help teachers when they are sick to know when they can return to work

There will be more information and clarification in the coming days. I am attaching the most current guidelines for you to read. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Teachers will continue to work together to create consistent, shared expectations for:
