GUIDELINES FOR IN PERSON SCHOOL DAYS
- Doors to the building open at 7:48am. Students are asked to stay in their vehicles until it is time to enter the building.
- Students should have their own set of supplies to avoid having to share. When sharing is necessary, students will be asked to wash/sanitize their hands & items will be sanitized between uses.
- It is recommended that students bring their own "personal-sized" hand sanitizer to school with them.
- Drinking fountains are closed, so a water bottle labeled with the student's name is recommended.
- Masks must be worn by all school staff, visitors, and by all students, on buses, inside school buildings, and anywhere on school grounds, including outside when individuals may be within six feet of each other. If students do not have a mask, a disposable one will be provided.
