Welcome Back
Beginning of the year information
Please read this email carefully. It has a lot of information that you will need.
Covid protocols
- Before you come to work each day, please take your temperature. If it is above 100.4, you need to stay home and call and let us know.
- Masks should be worn at all times unless you are alone in a room and the door is closed.
- Regularly wash/sanitizer your hands.
- Maintain 6' social distancing when around other people.
- Avoid congregating. I know this one will be hard given that we all have missed each other, but we must be careful and keep each other healthy!

Alyse Fieldgrove, a district autism specialist, will be filling in for Jenny until we can hire someone for the position. Please help Alyse feel welcome at our school.
Classroom set up
Guidelines for Classroom Set-up:
-Students should be spaced out as much as possible. Since our students will be wearing face coverings, I would recommend a minimum of 3ft. Out of an abundance of caution, the further apart you can space students, the better.
-Students will need to be facing the same direction.
-Teachers will need 6ft of space between their presentation area and the nearest student.
-Small group areas are possible as long as students and the teacher are spaced at least 3 ft. apart.
*If you have extra furniture in your classroom that you would like removed, please label it with your room name and room number. Yolanda will move extra furniture to the movement lab for storage.
Community Schools
Class Lists
LaunchEd students will still show up in your IC class roster because they are considered dually enrolled. So, make sure you are using the class list in the Important Docs folder to determine who is going to be with you this year.
Tara added a tab on the class lists with email addresses for each class. I will be asking all classroom teachers to send their class an email to let them know who their child's teacher is, when your virtual open house will be, and other pertinent information. We have a template that we will send you to personalize for your class. All emails will be sent on Wednesday.
