Hybrid Learning
Cohort Schedules
You can now login to ParentVUE and StudentVUE to see your student’s assigned attendance cohort. Students have been assigned to either a Tuesday/Thursday attendance cohort or to a Wednesday/Friday attendance cohort.
EDGE students will see EDGE as their assigned attendance cohort.
All students, K-12, who live at the same residence should have the same attendance cohort.
Now, that we have made plans to bring your child back to in-person hybrid learning, beginning March 2 for kindergarten and first-grade, it is time to make sure your elementary student has transportation to and from school. We need your help to use our limited resources efficiently so we can plan for physically distancing our young riders on buses.
So, we are asking families:
Can you bring your student to and from school?
If you are eligible for district transportation and will need transportation for your student, please complete our Rider Registration form.
Check eligibility for bus service. If eligible, you will see a link to the Rider Registration form.
Healthy Practices for Safety
Preparing Your Child for Wearing a Mask at School
*Exerpt from Article Linked Above*
Make it personal: Mask in style!
If you are making your own mask, of course it’s important to construct and wear the mask properly. However, make sure to pick a mask that resonates with you – like a team logo or picking colors that match your clothes or your personality.
When you try on clothes, sometimes it takes a few tries to find something with the perfect fit and comfort. It’s the same for masks.
You may need to purchase a couple different styles or types to find the one you’re most comfortable wearing. Then, rock that mask with style.
Tips for parents: Picking a mask for your child
What should parents know about picking a mask for their child? Children under the age of 2 should refrain from wearing masks and those who are unable to remove a mask themselves should also not wear a mask.
“You may want to introduce the masks slowly, and start out at home with short intervals of time, then take trips that require the masks for longer periods of time,” Lori said. “For young children, consider ways you can include it into play, such as having them teach a doll or stuffed animal about wearing a mask and putting it on.”
Size and fit for kids
When it comes to the proper fit and size for your child’s mask, the same guidelines apply as for adults: It should fit over the nose and under the chin without gapping at the sides.
“You may have to experiment before you find the right one. In general, the children’s sized face masks will fit someone from age 3 through around age 10 and sometimes up to 14 years of age. But if you child is larger for their age, you may need to try a small adult size,” Lori said.
Keep it fun for kids
The key is to relax and have fun with your child, Lori said. “If they see you upset or not wearing your mask, they will do the same thing. If you make it fun and allow them to choose fun colors or prints or even make their own mask with proper material, they are more likely to wear their masks.”
