SHIELD testing at Churchill continues this school year and will be held on TUESDAYs moving forward.

• You must complete an opt-out form for your child If you choose to not have them tested each week.
• Classroom letters/notifications are no longer sent to families for each positive case. Please view Churchill's COVID information at our school district dashboard which is broken down by grade level and classroom.
• If a student misses school due to COVID diagnosis and requirement of isolation, our team will make sure work is collected and provided to the student once they are able to return.
• If returning after Day 5 of quarantine, students must wear a mask at all times through Day 10 and will be physically distanced at snack/lunch times when mask must be removed.

Our team has prepared and organized recess for the best possible environment and experience. Our goal is that all students feel safe, make positive connections, and have the opportunity to practice those critical social emotional skills like cooperation and problem-solving. Students have been doing an awesome job this school year engaging in and learning about the expectations at each of our 5 stations by classroom. Each station has a main activity and also alternate activities from which to choose. As the year progresses, students will have more and more opportunity to mix and mingle and make new connections during this time.

Reflection Room

Reflection Room is an intervention that takes place during recess. The intervention provides students a quiet space to reflect or restore a situation while engaging with staff in a individualized lesson on Ripple Effects. The lesson will addresses a specific and relevant social emotional or behavior concern.

Our teachers will contact a family and recommend the reflection room if a minor classroom referral has been issued to the student. Before being issued a minor classroom referral, a teacher or staff member will have attempted many strategies and both positive and negative consequences to help redirect and get a student back on track. If the family would prefer the student engage in their reflection activities after school, that can be arranged.
