- See picture below for what lunch will look like.
- All students have had a lunch and recess orientation from Mr. Getchell this week. We are ready to go!
Food Allergies
- If your child is food allergic, your child's teacher is aware. Our kitchen is nut free so if your child has a nut allergy, he or she can order from the kitchen without worry. Other allergies are noted by teachers and our kitchen staff. Food allergic students will have a lunch prepared specifically for him/her, with the student's name on the bagged lunch.
RECESS
- Playgrounds have been sectioned off into thirds. Students will only play with their classmates and in their section.
- Masks are worn by all at recess.
- Playground equipment will not be used
- Students will have to maintain three foot distance at recess.
- There will be two or three classes, divided into sections, at each recess. Students will not be able to play with students who are not in their class at recess
- Two playground aides will supervise each playground along with Mr. Aries and Mr. Getchell.
- This will be a time for our students to run, play and socialize again (three feet apart, masked). It is not what it used to be, but it is a step closer.
Mask/Snack Breaks
- All students will have an outdoor snack and mask break once a day. Fifth graders will have a morning mask/snack break in the morning since they are eating lunch later.
Special Subjects Resume In-Person
- Beginning on Monday all students at RO will again have art, music, PE and library once a week for 40 minutes, in person. Students will wear masks and will be at least three feet apart at specials. Desks will be cleaned between each class.
- Remote Only students also have the same specials, remotely, each week.
This is what our cafeteria and gym (now a lunchroom) will look like as we start Phase 4 next week. All students are assigned a seat and will eat 6 feet apart from peers. Students will sit in the same seat each day. Two or three classes eat at the same time in both spaces. At the end of lunch, desks will be washed with soapy water prior to the next class coming in. Students will wash or sanitize their hands before and after eating.
