Back to School Procedures 2020-2021
Even during "regular" school years, we start the year off by reviewing a variety of procedures and routines, and this year is certainly no different. It's been about 6 months since our students have been inside the building, so we will take the first few weeks of school to review with students old and new ways of keeping them and the staff comfortable and safe. Although we have updated a variety of procedures and have a good idea of all the logistics, we will ultimately continue to fine tune and adapt as the next few weeks go by when students and staff are here together.
I hope the following presentation provides an overview of how some of our procedures and typical daily routines have been adjusted to provide the safest return to school. Included in the presentation, you'll find some information about the following items:
- Arrival/Dismissal
- Hygiene in the school
- Classroom setup
- Hallways and foot traffic
- Lunch
- Recess and playground
- Bathrooms
- Illness protocols
While guarantees are hard to come by these days, I can make the commitment to you that our staff will do everything they can to make sure students feel safe and comfortable with their return to Washington. Please find some time to click through the presentation with your child(ren) before they return to school next week. As always, your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Curbside Pickup - 1st Day School Supply Pickup, Student Belongings (from last spring) and student chromebook pickup
School supply kit pickup AND/OR Student Personal Belonging Pick Up (from last spring)
Several families ordered a school supply kit from 1st Day School Supply Kits prior to choosing a learning option. Some of these students may not be in school to start the year and have requested to pick up these supply kits before the start of the school year.
IF your child is returning to Washington in the Phased Into Learning (PIL), you do not need to do anything.
- School supply kits and all student personal belongings will be moved from your child(ren)'s previous year classroom to your child(ren)'s new classroom. You do not need to do anything and we will plan on sending home items with your child(ren)that cannot be stored at Washington over the first two weeks of school.
- Same applies to chromebooks. All students returning in the Phased Into Learning (PIL) should bring their chromebook to school if one was already checked out to them in the spring/summer. Otherwise, we will provide all students with a chromebook when they are here during the first week of school.
- We are offering curbside pickup for these items. We ask that all families use our Hug & Go lane on 67th street. We will have multiple staff members outside to assist. Please stay in your car and items will be delivered to the car.
- Friday, September 4th 1-3pm
If you have specific questions about personal belonging or school supply kit pickup, please contact Brenda Hill-Gordon at 414-773-1806
