Facial Coverings
- All staff and students are required to wear masks at all times except when eating as directed by the Macomb County Health Department.
- Please label student masks with student's name and grade.
- Each student received a lanyard and a plastic zip pouch for their mask in October. We have extras for students who are new.
- Lanyards and bags will NOT go home with students they will remain in the classroom.
- Staff will provide masks for any student who forget theirs at home.
- Facial coverings should be taken home at the end of the day and washed. Students should have a clean mask each day.
Parking Lot!
Now that we will have all students in school at once it is very important that all families adhere to the parking lot guidelines. If everyone follows the guidelines it will help the traffic flow much better. These guidelines are in place for the good of the whole community here at Huron.
- When using the parent drop off lane; please pull all the way forward past the cross walk as traffic permits before letting your child out. If you do not pull forward it backs the traffic up to Terra Bella.
- There is only one lane of traffic in the lot, please do not make a second lane.
- Please have your child ready to get out of the vehicle when the vehicle stops.
- The drop-off/pick-up lane is not a parking area.
- The lot by the berm is for buses and staff parking.
- As we adjust to having everyone in the parking lot and it becomes backed up during arrival, we will delay marking students tardy as needed.
