Student Learning Environment for Final 9-Weeks
Please be reminded that parents do not have the option for their scholars to switch back and forth between learning environments at will. If you have chosen a learning environment that is the only way your scholar is expected to access school each day. You may not have your scholar attend Remote Learning one day and switch to Face-to Face the next or vice versa. Once you have committed to the learning environment your scholar must remain there through May.
There will be no considerations for changing any scholars learning environment after Friday, March 12th!
Parent and Scholar Safety Expectations During the Pandemic
Parents, you will be called to pick your child up if your child does not feel well, is complaining of a stomach-ache, headache, or any other symptoms of COVID-19. You will have a maximum of 30 minutes to pick up your scholar when you are informed that he/she is ill. Please have a plan in place for when your scholar feels sick and needs to be picked up. Failure to pick up your sick child will result in a Social Worker referral. Thank you for your continued support in keeping everyone safe.
I want to encourage you to stay vigilant about your adherence to those important COVID-19 preventative measures: wearing a mask, washing your hands, and maintaining a social distance of six feet. And if your scholar is ill or has been exposed to a positive COVID-19 individual, he/she is NOT allowed to come to school or to any school-sponsored events.
In effort to keep our scholars and staff healthy and safe, we want to share a few reminders:
- Students are expected to arrive to school wearing and required to wear a face covering/mask while at school. Staff are also required to wear face coverings.
- If your child is sick, please keep them at home and make sure they are fever free for at least 24 hours before return.
- If anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19 and you have been advised to isolate or quarantine, please adhere to the public health guidance and do not send your student to school until after the noted timeframe. You are required to report this to the student reporting hotline (see link below).
- Encourage your student to wash hands frequently.
- If your child becomes sick while at school, you will be expected to be pick-up your child immediately.
- Please alert school administration of any COVID-19 related concerns.
Please see important school-based expectations below:

Building Parent Capacity Through Hands On Math Experiences
It is important for us to engage scholars in hands on experiences both at school and at home. As we approach Spring, many of us will take advantage of planting flowers while enjoying the outside air. See the link below for ways to engage your scholar in gardening while using some of the skills learned in math.
