WHITELEY WILDCAT UPDATE
October 10, 2020
It was a wonderful week at Whiteley as we began to fill the second floor, when the third and fourth grade students arrived. They were excited to return to in-person learning, and we were excited to have them! Although, things are a little different due to our current circumstances, a school with children brings a sense of normalcy to everyone. We greatly miss our virtual students and hope that they are enjoying their experiences as virtual learners.
Fifth and Sixth Grade In-Person Learners
IN-PERSON PROCEDURES AND TIPS
As we continue to roll in more students this week, there are some procedures we would like to share with our families. We are also asking that parents consider sending an additional masks with their child to school. This will allow students to have a back-up mask for those unexpected occurrences. Below are some procedures we would like our families to help with:
MORNING ARRIVAL
CAR RIDERS
-Supervision does not begin until 8:35, this is when we will begin to allow students into the building.
-Please have your child’s lanyard on and signed. Students need to have their lanyard signed for entrance into the school.
-Please pull all the way forward to allow for a continuous flow of cars.
-Parents will need to remain in their car when their student(s) exit the vehicle.
-Children need to be ready to exit the vehicle, with their backpack and lunch bag ready when you pull into the parking lot.
-Students must have their mask on when exiting the vehicle.
-All students will have their temperatures checked and will sanitize their hands upon entry.
-We ask that students remain an airplane arms length away from others.
BUS RIDERS
-Students riding the bus will have an assigned seat the entire year.
-Students must wear their mask on the bus.
-Students will have their temps taken prior to entering the building.
-Students will sanitize their hands prior to entering the building.
-Students must wear their lanyards and staff will ensure there is a parent signature on the card inside the lanyard.
DISMISSAL
-Students will begin dismissing at a staggered time to ensure social distancing.
-Students will load buses immediately and sit in their assigned seats.
-Students that walk home or ride their bikes will be dismissed at 3:25.
-Students that are car riders will be lined up in sections .
-Parents will pull their cars up in the car line, and remain in their vehicle.
-Staff will call students to the car and students will walk to the car maintaining social distancing.
-Once students are safely loaded into the car, parents may pull-out of the carpool line safely.
SELF-CERTIFY
Please make sure you are certifying that your child is healthy for school, by signing the card that is placed in the lanyard. Every Friday, the teacher will place a new card in the lanyard for the upcoming week.
LUNCH SUPERVISORS NEEDED
Breakfast
Breakfast is part of a relief effort related to Covid 19. This offering is for all students, regardless of need. The program runs from the first day of school until December 31, 2020. While in-person learning is occurring, each student will receive five days worth of breakfast at the end of the day on Monday. As our nutritional service department works to estimate the number to prepare, we would appreciate families completing this form if they are interested in receiving breakfast when your child begins in-person learning.
