Face Masks Required for INDOOR schooling during the school day and at INDOOR after school events
For purposes of this protocol, approved face masks include homemade or store-bought cloth face masks, surgical masks, or transparent/clear face masks that cover the individual’s face from the bridge of the nose to snugly under the chin and fit snugly against the sides of the face with no gaps for air to enter or exit. Face masks must comply with all applicable CCSD policies, regulations, and dress codes pertaining to student and staff attire.
Types of Face Masks
Face masks with one-way valves or vents are not allowed unless covered with a cloth face mask (one-way valves allow air to be exhaled through the valve).
Face masks are recommended to be made with multiple layers (current recommendations are two layers of tightly woven cloth (cotton preferred) and one layer of synthetic material that can be repeatedly washed.
Standard face/neck gaiters (minimal filtration) and bandanas, which do not correctly cover the nose and mouth, may only be worn if layered.
Face shields are not a replacement for face masks, given concerns over their inability to minimize droplets spread to others. A surgical or cloth mask must be worn under a shield unless an accommodation has been granted.
The following types of masks are NOT allowed
Face Shields are not allowed
Face Masks with Vents or Valves are not allowed
Mesh Masks are not allowed

Information from the Student Success Office (SSO)
Welcome back to the 2021-2022 school year. A few reminders regarding behavior and attendance:
1. Parents and guardians, please ensure students are arriving to school in appropriate dress code. Baseball caps, snap backs, slides, shirts exposing midriffs, and facial piercings are not permitted at school.
2. Students are expected to arrive to class on-time and may be subject to disciplinary actions, including lunch detention if they are caught in a tardy sweep. Students who refuse to have their lunch detention slips signed by a parent or guardian and or who refuse to serve their assigned lunch detention may be subject to further consequences for insubordination including a Required Parent Conference (RPC).
3. Students who are absent must turn in any absence notes to Ms. Deputy in room 403. Students and parents may also reach Ms. Deputy via email by visiting Burkholderms.org, selecting the "students" tab and then the "student success office/attendance" tab.

Panorama Survey Letter to Parents
Dear Families,
Thank you for being incredible partners in educating our children. Building our social-emotional learning skills is an important goal for our school this year as we work together through this Pandemic and the challenges of distance learning.
We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing during class. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.
The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on their positive feelings, challenging feelings, supportive relationships, and how they view themselves as learners.
We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our school’s response to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential.
If you have any questions about the SEL survey, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 702-799-8080.

Estimadas familias:
Gracias por ser socios increíbles en la educación de nuestros niños. Desarrollar nuestras habilidades de aprendizaje socioemocional es un objetivo importante para nuestra escuela este año mientras trabajamos juntos a través de esta pandemia y los desafíos del aprendizaje a distancia.
Le pediremos a su hijo que reflexione sobre su propia mentalidad y enfoques de aprendizaje a través de una encuesta en línea que completará durante la clase. La encuesta no debería tardar más de 20 a 30 minutos en completarse.
El contenido de la encuesta pedirá a los estudiantes que reflexionen sobre sus sentimientos positivos, sentimientos desafiantes, relaciones de apoyo y cómo se ven a sí mismos como aprendices.
Pedimos que todos nuestros estudiantes participen en las encuestas, ya que sus respuestas proporcionarán información invaluable sobre sus experiencias y cómo podemos mejorar y adaptar la respuesta de nuestra escuela a sus necesidades. Si un estudiante siente que no tiene suficiente información para responder una pregunta, podrá omitir la pregunta por completo. Las respuestas a estas encuestas serán completamente confidenciales.
Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre la encuesta SEL, no dude en comunicarse con nosotros al 702-799-8080.
