Chester Elementary School News
For the Week of October 26 2020
Return to School- In Person Half Day
Hello Chester Elementary Families,
On Monday, October 26, we will welcome students back on campus in the AM/PM model! Please go through this check off list to be sure your students are ready:
- What is the schedule? AM Session is 8:10-10:50 and PM Session is 12:20-3:00.
- Students arrive between 8:00-8:10 for the AM Session and 12:10-12:20 for the PM Session. All students enter through the front door except for Kindergarten.
- Send your student with a face covering everyday
- The Covid-19 Health and Safety Form that was sent via Parent Square MUST BE completed. If you have not done this, we will ask that you sign this on the first day. This document is found below.
- Meals will be grab and go at the end of the AM session.
- Meal delivery is available for PM students allowing them to eat prior to arriving. Additionally, there will be grab and go meals available.
- Water bottles are encouraged, our shared drinking fountains will not be in use.
- Be sure students are dressed appropriately for school.
FAQs
- Is it all day? No, there are two sessions each day.
- Will children in the same family be on the same schedule? YES!
- Will my children have work to do at home? Yes, the model is a half day in person with asynchronous learning when they are not on campus. The combined times will equal the instructional minutes required by the state.
- Will there be transportation? Yes, there will be transportation provided for the PM session on a limited basis.
- Will my student need to wear a mask and social distance? Yes.
- Will all students be screened? Yes, students will stay in their cars and staff members will screen them prior to entering. Students that walk will be screened at the door and those on the bus will be screened prior to riding the bus.
We want to open and stay open. The district has protocols to follow for screening everyone on campus and protocols for students/staff are sick or show symptoms of Covid-19. If your child is ill or showing any symptoms, we will require that they stay at home. (See the document that follows.)
In anticipation of the first week of in person learning, students will be invited to wear costumes or fall festive wear for a Virtual Parade on Oct. 29th.
Report cards will be available on Tuesday, October 27, in your Aeries Parent Portal. The trimester was shortened due to the return to school so these are an abbreviated version.
With Flexibility and Grace,
Colly Fischer
