Elkton Elementary School Memo
April 12, 2021
A Note from Mrs. Palmer
Dear EES Families,
EES is excited to welcome back all A/B students in grades 2-5 to four days of school staring April 12, 2021.
I have sent out multiple phone messages and emails to keep you updated on the new arrival/dismissal schedule. Thank you in advance in adhereing to these changes to help keep your child safe. I will share one more time with you below:
We anticipate many more cars in the morning so we will need you to help with the following:
- arrive at your assigned drop off time (Pre-K- 2- 7:50-8:05 and 3-5 - 8:05-8:20. If you have multiple students in different grades, go by the time of your youngest child.
- parent not exit the car- staff on hand will assist your child if needed
- students should exit on the driver's side of the car by the sidewalk
- student has their mask on upon exiting the car.
This will help with getting more cars through the alley in a shorter amount of time. This was recommended by the Elkton Town Police.
For Dismissal: The town of Elkton has requested that cars not line up before 2:40 to help avoid traffic backing up to 340. If you have a child in grades 3-5 that is a car rider, these students will not be released to you (in the school alley) until 3:05 starting April 12, 2021.
Arrival/Dismissal for Families
The updated attendance policy is below. If your child is HLA, he/she is expected to be on live with their teacher. If for any reason your child can't get on zoom, the parent should contact the teacher.
Attendance meetings with the parent will occur if your child misses 5 sessions (5 DLA- Distance Learning Absence).
Take home meals will only be provided on Tuesday for parents who completed the Opt in/Opt out form.
Meals will also be provided on Mondays 3:30-5:30 at ERHS.
I appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make another adjustment to the school schedule.
I wish you well...
Mrs. Palmer
