STUDENT MATERIAL PICKUP / DROP OFF
Friday, May 15, 2020
Rockbrook Families,
As previously sent to you in a district email, Friday, May 15th is scheduled to be your opportunity to drop-off and pick-up your child’s instructional materials and personal belongings from Rockbrook as well as turn in any school and district materials. This email is to detail the exact procedures for Rockbrook’s plan. I appreciate your attention to the details and information provided.
Rockbrook’s family pick-up time on Friday, May 15th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The following are important details to coordinate an orderly and safe, outdoor drop-off & pick-up:
We are asking that families abide by an alpha assignment (by last name) for time of arrival on Friday, May 15th. Please see the below chart:
9:00am-11:00am --- Last Names: A-H
11:00pm – 1:00pm --- Last Names: I - R
1:00pm – 3:00pm --- Last Names: S - Z
Procedures for Day of Drop-Off and Pick-Up of Materials
Please enter into the North or South parking lot of Rockbrook (as noted below). You will remain in your vehicle at all times and drive through the cue similarly to a regular end of day dismissal.
There will be designated grade level tables located on Rockbrook’s campus (listed below) on the sidewalk bordering the Parking Lot. You will then drive to the designated grade level location to drop-off and pick-up materials. Each location will be manned by Rockbrook staff. Please tell staff your child’s name. They will safely take materials from you and give you your child’s materials from school. You will remain in your vehicle at all times.
If you have multiple children at Rockbrook, you will need to go to multiple locations for drop-off and pick-up according to his/her grade level. Please do not attempt to pass other vehicles.
Locations for Drop-Off and Pick-Up (See map below for specific locations)
What Should Parents/Students Do to Get Ready for Drop-Off on May 15th?
All textbooks, library books, instruments, other items that are the property of the school will need to be returned. Work that was completed at home during eLearning does NOT need to be returned. Please put all materials into a grocery sack or bag. On the front of the bag, label in large print: Child’s First/Last Name, Teacher and Grade Level
iPads
Westside Community Schools will continue to have access to many learning services through the month of June that are accessible on the iPad for student learning. If you do not wish to continue access through the month of June or are not returning to Westside Community Schools, please return the iPad, lightning cable, and charger at this time. Westside will have another collection date at the end of June. This specific date will be communicated to you by the building principal.
What Will Parents Receive at Drop-Off/Pick-Up?
Our teaching staff will be diligently working to carefully and safely bag all of your child’s belongings and instructional materials by the May 15th drop-off and pick-up day. You will receive your child’s materials, supplies and belongings from your child’s classroom and cubby
Medication
If you need to pick up medication, your child’s bag will be marked. We will call the office to let them know to pull the medication. This can be picked up in the circle drive in front of the main entrance after you have picked up student materials.
Information to Keep this Day Safe and Healthy
We ask that if at all possible, parents/guardians do not visit school with their children.
Staff have been told to keep their interactions brief and without contact. Please do not take our brevity during the pick-up/drop-off time for a lack of caring. We miss all of our students deeply, but I have asked the staff to not engage in any close contact, hugs/high-fives or extended conversations.
This opportunity will be done in a way that prioritizes the health and safety of our families and staff. Staff members will be wearing protective masks and gloves. Staff will have bags at the stations and families will not be entering the school. They will come to your vehicle to pick-up your labeled bags. If you or someone in your home is in quarantine or has Covid-19, please do not visit school. We will find an alternate day, time or way for you to receive your materials.
While May 15th is the day we strongly encourage you to make, we will also have times set aside from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 19th.
We appreciate your support and adherence to our determined procedures. On this day, we ask for your patience, cooperation and support as we swap materials. This is unlike any year that staff, students and parents have experienced in closing down our classrooms and the school. We appreciate all that you have done to support us and our Rockbrook Bulldogs during this unprecedented time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. I thank you again for reading in detail this material, and we look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 15th.
Sincerely,
Garret Higginbotham, Principal
