Update On Work Pick Up This Friday
CSCS School Phase II Covid Response Info
Important information for Work-Pick Up this Friday: April 10th
As you know from the letter mailed home this week, Governor Cuomo has extended school closures in NYS until at least April 29th. This now makes the importance of our Phase II of education even more critical for our students!
Before this Friday:
- 1:1 Device Parent Permission - If you have requested to take home your child's school device (I-Pad/laptop), please make sure to click on the 1:1 Parent Permission form below this message and complete it or CLICK HERE. If you do not do this prior to picking up your child's device this Friday we will have you complete it on your cell phone or school device when you come to the school.
- Parent Permission for Video Conferencing - Please email Kelly Costa kcosta@cscd.org to give the school permission to allow your child to participate in video conferencing with their classmates.
THIS FRIDAY - PARENT PICK UP BETWEEN 8:00AM AND 3:30PM
Please come anytime during the day and follow the protocols set below:
- Pull around the bus circle and stop by the Small Gymnasium doors.
- A school worker will come out, get the names of all of the children you are picking up work for and 1:1 devices for. If you are picking up a 1:1 device and did not sign the parent permission slip (link below) yet, you will be asked to complete the form on your cell phone or a school provided I-pad.
- A school worker will bring out the student's work packets and give them to you in your car... please do not get out of your car. Each worker will be hand sanitizing between each drop off and will be wearing masks.
- Please Note - ALL Children in Grades PreK-5 will have work to be picked up. Grade 6 will only have work if they do not have internet access, and/or they have asked to have their child's 1:1 device to take home, or have been contacted by their teacher that they need to something up.
If you cannot pick up materials on this day, please know the school will be reaching out to parents to work out alternative ways to get this work to you!
Phase II expectations for each grade level
- PreK-2nd Grade - Will receive hard copy work for the next 3 weeks until May 1st. This learning will be reinforced by online instructional tools. You will receive your child's 1:1 device at this time if you have requested it.
- 3rd and 4th Grade - Please come to the school to pick hard copy work for the next 1 week along with supplemental materials to help your child move to Google Classroom. If you do not have internet access your child will receive hard copy work for the entire 3 weeks unit May 1st.

A Closing Thought
We are hopeful that students will be able to come back to school on April 29th, although this can change as the governor is making decisions at this point in two week increments. Bottom line, is we have to do our best so we can get back to school as soon as possible!!! We miss our kids!
Thank you for your continued cooperation, understanding, flexibility and diligence. It is appreciated more than you may realize.
