October 2020
From the Principal, Ms. Nora Sullivan
We are wrapping up our third week of school and I am happy to report your students are doing a fantastic job with their new routines and following all of the safety protocols. Thank you for doing your part to remind your child/children that wearing masks, distancing and washing hands helps keep our school safe so that we continue to provide in person instruction for students.
I also want to thank all of my parents for following the Covid protocols set forth by the district and Albany County Department of Health. You have communicated routinely with our school nurse over the health and wellness of your child.
Your child's teacher will be communicating with you about the details and time frame to work with your child remotely on the Virtual Planning Day, Friday, October 9th. The IT department has sent a survey to determine which of our families will need a chromebook. We only have one device per family and we ask that the chromebook is returned promptly on Tuesday, October 13th. This day will allow us to test our capabilities remotely should we be required to pivot to all remote learning in the future.
The word of the month is cooperation
Important dates in October
October 9 - Virtual Planning Day, no school for students (students learn remotely from home)
October 12 - Columbus Day, no school
SROs are our heroes!
