"I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1-9
Masks-UPDATED
You can help us by preparing your child for wearing a mask at school. There are many great resources online. The all start with the following tips.
- Teach your child how to wear the mask properly.
- Be a mask role model - wear your mask.
- Practice wearing the mask at home.
We are asking that the masks be solid colors, but they do not have to be school colors. They may be monogrammed. I have ordered adjustable, breakaway mask lanyards for all students to help keep track of masks. A spare mask in the backpack, just in case, would be advised.
Neck gaiters are not an acceptable substitute for masks at school. They are not multilayered and do not provide the necessary protection.
Supply Drop Off
Your car tag and back to school envelop will be available at Supply Drop Off. the 2019-2020 Yearbook Yearbook is included in the envelop of returning students.
Virtual Learner Material Pick Up
Your car tag and back to school envelop will be with the materials of the oldest student the 2019-2020 Yearbook is included in the envelop of returning students.
Stock the Staff Lounge
Help me support the faculty and staff by "Stocking the Staff Lounge". You can drop off a donation for the Staff Lounge before school officially begins on August 25th (VPK) and 26th (K-8). You can leave your donation during Supply Drop off and Material Pick up.
A few ideas: Coffee (K-cup), tea, cream, sugar, chocolate, mints, snacks, fruit etc.
Thank you!

Wrap-around begins following VPK dismissal and runs until 3:15 pm.
Aftercare will begin at 3:15 and runs until 6:00 pm.
Lunch
We are not starting the year with school lunches. Please remember to pack snacks and lunches. Ice packs will ensure that food stays at a safe temperature. Please make sure lunch boxes are labeled with student names. We are asking that you send your child to school with his or her lunch and not plan on delivering lunches to the school office throughout the school day. As we begin the school year, students will eat lunch in their homeroom classroom to limit risk.
Temperature Screening at Arrival
Upon arrival to school, all students’ temperatures will be taken by a staff member using a no-touch infrared thermometer. If the reading is 100.4 or higher the student will not be permitted to attend school that day. Siblings will be asked to go home as well due to the potential risk.
During drop-off, students must remain in their cars and await temperature screening before exiting their vehicles. Random temperature may be done throughout the school day. No student with a fever will be allowed to remain at school.
