School Re-Opening Plan
CLASSIC SCHOOL FAMILIES -
Each scholar will be required to agree to and sign our Scholar Agreements. Please begin talking to your scholar about how school will be running when we return. It will NOT be business as usual and we have no flexibility in scholars who choose not to comply with the health and safety requirements. Click here to view the Scholar Agreements. We will be highlighting several items each week so you can have some talking points to share with your scholar. Again, this is for EVERYONE'S safety! Finally, all water fountains have been disabled. Please send your scholar to school with a refillable water bottle.
This week's focus: CAMPUS RULES
- Maintain social distance from other scholars, as practicable
- Follow directional signs
- Honor maximum capacity signs posted on restroom doors
- Follow the directions of the campus staff
- Use the hydration station to fill up personal water bottle - water fountains will NOT be available
During the lunch period:
Sit in designated areas and follow table capacity as directed by campus staff
Never share food with other scholars
Take off my mask and place it in my backpack or pocket while eating
Put my mask back on when done eating
Follow the directions of the campus staff
During passing periods:
Always wear my mask
Follow directional signs - everyone walking in the same direction
Not gather in any groups with other scholars
Honor maximum capacity signs posted on restroom doors
Follow the directions of the campus staff
When leaving school:
Always wear my mask
Follow directional signs
Social distance from others, as practicable
Follow the directions of the campus staff
VIRTUAL SCHOOL FAMILIES -
Your scholar's schedule will be changing once we return to in person learning on TUESDAY, 10/20. We have many teachers that are working with virtual AND classic scholars which means our scheduling has to allow them to meet with both groups during the day. The current schedule does not allow for this to happen unfortunately. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays will stay the same, with slight modifications on the start times of each class. Wednesdays and Fridays is where the change will happen - scholars will attend their periods 5-8 in the afternoon and have their learning options in the morning.
The new schedule is linked below or click here - VIRTUAL SCHEDULE.
Reminder- the schedule WILL NOT change until TUESDAY, 10/20/20!
