Elkton Elementary School Memo
March 29, 2021
A Note from Mrs. Palmer
Dear EES Families,
Reminder that Spring Break is April 5-9th- No School. The office will be closed as well.
Dr. Scheikl presented a plan to bring back students in grades 2-5 for four days. This will happen on Monday, April 12th. Students in the Hybrid A/B schedule will come Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We are excited to have students back in the building more days. This will lead to some modifications to the current arrival/dismissal schedule. We will let you know the updates as we make them.
When students attend for more days, it will be important to provide your child with a new mask for each school day. Cloth masks should not be worn a second day unless it has been washed. Let us know if you are in need of more child size masks. We do have student masks on hand if a student forgets their mask. The mask should be worn when getting on the bus each morning, on the bus, and during the school day.
We anticipate many more cars in the morning so we will need you to help with the following:
- arrive at your assigned drop off time (Pre-K- 2- 7:50-8:05 and 3-5 - 8:05-8:20. If you have multiple students in different grades, go by the time of your youngest child.
- parent not exit the car- staff on hand will assist your child if needed
- students should exit on the driver's side of the car by the sidewalk
- student has their mask on upon exiting the car.
This will help with getting more cars through the alley in a shorter amount of time. This was recommended by the Elkton Town Police.
For Dismissal: The town of Elkton has requested that cars not line up before 2:40 to help avoid traffic backing up to 340. If you have a child in grades 3-5 that is a car rider, these students will not be released to you (in the school alley) until 3:05 starting April 12, 2021.
Arrival/Dismissal for Families
Please take time to update our Tuesday take home meal form by March 31st. Starting April 12th, grades Pre-K-5 will be in school four days. The only day take home meals will be provided is Tuesday.
The next EES Memo will come out on April 11, 2021.
I wish you well...
Mrs. Palmer
