Mask Reminders
Wearing a mask incorrectly (not covering the nose and mouth completely) is equivalent to not wearing a mask at all.
Mask wearing is most effective when the majority of people participate. There will be few exceptions in schools for both staff and students. This is important to communicate to all, because there will be people who will be seen with their face coverings off for short periods of time, or will be using other mitigation strategies while instructing.
Mask breaks are a normal and necessary part of the day. Face coverings can be removed under the following circumstances:
When eating lunch
Outdoor recess
Taking a quick drink in the classroom
Teachers schedule mask breaks outside throughout the day
Students will need to supply their own face coverings. If a student arrives at school without a face covering, one will be provided. Face coverings over the nose and mouth are required indoors, including during in-person instruction and while with other students and adults, unless a student cannot medically tolerate a face covering. Health conditions such as severe asthma or a mental health diagnosis may require adaptations to face coverings and layering of other mitigation strategies.
In appropriate circumstances, face shields will be made available to students. These could include: students who have a severe respiratory condition, or students who have a diagnosed mental health condition.
If a student requests any modification/accommodation to cover the nose and mouth, it will be coordinated and approved by the School Nurse Consultant and building administrators. A note from a health care provider will be considered in the accommodation process, but this does not guarantee the request will be approved. In some situations, the building nurse and administration may need more information regarding qualifying ADA accommodations and may consider beginning the Section 504 evaluation process.
Live Art Class with Mrs. Montano
This is a reminder for the FRIDAY LIVE ART GOOGLE MEET SESSIONS. Do not feel obligated to attend if your student is not currently in the specials art rotation. The rotation schedule is complicated to explain because of the cohort system and I am currently split teaching at 2 schools, so please double check with your child that they are in an art class right now. If they aren't, they are still welcome to attend the session.
It would be helpful if your student comes prepared with some blank white paper, pencil, an eraser, some markers (sometimes we share our practice drawings and pencil does not show up on screen), and scissors. I suggest you keep a ziplock baggie of art materials set aside at home so everything is ready to go.
We will be reviewing concepts discussed in class, watching some instructional videos and sometimes having an art related storytime. I will login to the meeting 5 minutes before the start time. Below I have attached the link to my website that you can bookmark on your computer, as well as the designated GOOGLE MEET links and times per grade section.
I look forward to seeing you on Fridays!
