Notes from Ms. Patterson
Happy October Panther Families!
We are happy to be looking forward to the opportunity of having in person learning in the near future! Thank you to everyone who has responded to our survey and/or phone calls to clarify your family’s choice of in person or virtual.
As we plan, we want to continue to update you on the routines and procedures you can expect your child to experience during in person learning. Below, you will see some photos of classroom set-ups. You will see each room has desks that are facing the same direction and are spaced 6 feet apart.
Also, we ask that you begin to talk and work with your child so they are prepared to wear a mask all day at school. This is a School Board policy and will be important for maintaining the health and safety of all students and staff at John Marshall.
Our community is currently seeing a surge of COVID-19 cases. We are committed to the safety and well-being of all of our students and staff. Please join us in helping to keep ourselves, our families, our students, and our staff safe by following best practices both at school or work and in the community by avoiding large gatherings, wearing a mask, maintaining 6 feet of distancing, and regularly washing your hands. This will be an essential piece that gets us back to in person learning and keeps us there.
We look forward to continuing to partner with you to support our students!
