3 Reminders for the Beginning of the 2020 School Year
One of his old blog posts recently resurfaced titled, “3 Reminders for the Beginning of the School Year” from 2018. I think the contents of the post are more appropriate than ever:
- For some students, school is their happy place, and they missed their happy place.
- No matter how happy (or sad) your colleagues or students seem, don’t hesitate to share a kind word or action.
- Give everyone a new beginning.
As a community we need to understand that some days will not work out the way you want them to, so it is okay to start again tomorrow.
We all know that this school year will be one that students always remember. Thank you to everyone for making sure that they see the positive side of it.
Health Office
Let's continue to keep up the great teamwork to minimize the spread of illness.
Important reminders:
- Parents, please conduct this Daily COVID-19 Home Screening for Students each morning to determine whether your child should attend school in-person or remain home.
- Contact the absence line and report all illness symptoms/reason for absence. Call 201-664-0880 and choose option 1 as soon as you are aware you child will be absent, by 9 a.m. the latest
- Please see Return To School Videos for reminders about wearing cloth face coverings, washing hands and staying home when sick.
As always, your school nurse is available for your concerns. Please feel free to contact me at anna.parke@wwrsd.org.
