Supervisors will be on duty starting at 7:45 AM each day. Students should not arrive at school before the supervisors go on duty. All students will be going directly to their classrooms upon arrival at school. Classroom teachers will be outside their classroom door to greet students between 7:45-8:00 AM.
Car Riders will be entering/exiting Door 5 (back of the school on blacktop).
Bus Riders will be entering/exiting Door 4 (back of the school on blacktop). More information regarding bus routes will be communicated to families as we receive it. Thank you for your patience!
Walkers will be entering/exiting Door 2 (front of the school (Main Entrance))
Special Note: Parents must send a note to their student’s teacher if there is a change in the regular after school arrangements for their student. For example, a note would be required if a bus student were to be picked up instead of riding the bus home, or if a student were riding the bus home instead of staying with the ET program. In the absence of a note, students will be told to follow their regular after school procedures.
If someone shows up stating they are here to pick up a student and we have not been notified, we will use the following procedure:
A phone call from the school office to the parent phone number listed on Parentvue will be made.
We request to see an ID to verify the identity of the person picking up.
Drop off/Pick up Lane
If you plan on picking up your child in the pick-up lane on a regular basis, please fill out the bottom portion of the form and return it to school with your child for the office. This will only pertain to Modified In-person students.
Both forms will come home tomorrow and are also attached below.

Husmann Families - We cannot thank you enough for the AMAZING job you have all done completing the self certification each morning! We were very excited to see our Cougars again, and the smooth transition has been the icing on the cake. Thank you so very much for your diligence!!!
We would also like to thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding regarding our new absence / illness / return to school policy. We know it is very different, so we appreciate your willingness to do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe and healthy. Thank you!!

After School Virtual Fall Fun Clubs!
Does your child want to make friends and have more interaction with other Husmann students while sharing about something in their lives that they love? Starting this week on Thursday, several virtual clubs will be starting up for various interests. They are: Outdoor Club, Marathon Running Club, Pet Club and International Club. Here is a brief description of each of these clubs:
Outdoor Club: Bring your device as close to outside as your internet will reach, or bring it outdoors and share with members what activities you do in your yard space-with your swing set, trampoline, trees, yard, and see what others do. Planned for 4 half hour sessions per grade level.
Marathon Running Club: This club is designed for 3rd - 5th graders. Members will meet virtually weekly for 8 weeks for sharing running experiences and learning running techniques. Runners will run/walk/jog on their own, set goals, track their progress and earn small tokens and certificates for milestones made. Parental involvement is necessary for supervision and highly encouraged for tracking with a Marathon Kids running app, for which directions will be forthcoming.
Pet Club: Share about your different wonderful experiences and responsibilities with your pet. Bring your pet to the computer, or, if a cat, bring your computer to the cat, so we can love your pet, too! No pet is necessary because if you love animals, you may love seeing Husmann pets! Planned for 4 half hour sessions per grade level.
International Club: Specifically organized for students who speak more than one language in their homes to share about cultural experiences such as language, foods and holidays. Planned for 4 half hour sessions.
A Google form for each club is linked to this email to sign up. The zoom link for all virtual club meetings is the same as the zoom link for your child’s P.E. class: https://d47.zoom.us/j/97591011939?pwd=WjV0MzZtOExjd1BWQ2EvTDZKNVg2Zz09
Hope this will help your children feel better in these unusual times and draw you into feeling a bigger part of our united Husmann community.

The Morning Announcements
The Morning Announcements are here to stay! We are hoping to secure various staff members from across the district as well as Husmann staff. Our goal is to give our Cougars something to look forward to, as well as possibly get to know a staff member a little bit better and finally to think about being safe, respectful and responsible! We will continue to celebrate the National Days. Please keep sharing your photos with us at Husschool@d47.org and on social media with the hashtag #forward47 & #HUSpride as well!
First Day of Modified In-person!
