Happy New Year Coyotes! We are so excited to be welcoming our students from our special education intensive needs programs as well as kindergarten, first, and second grades back into our building starting on January 19th.
As we prepare for our students, it is important for us to know how many students to expect in class. Thank you to many families for filling out the survey that went out before the winter break. If you did not have a chance to fill out the survey, please take a minute to do so. It is very brief and lets us know if you plan to send your child back to school or not. Parent Survey

Of the 9% that said they would not send their child to school for instruction, about half of those families are already enrolled in a homeschool program. | Chess Club Thank you Mrs. Zoske for offering Chess Club to our students in grades 3-6 and thank you to our PTA for sponsoring the after school activity.

Here is what one of your colleagues has to say about you! "Nancy is so helpful! I rely on her every week to help keep me organized and on track. She is flexible and and patient in teaching me how to use strategies that really work with my students! She also helps me use the technology that is required during covid."
Nancy is our Instructional Coach and one of our Canvas Champions. She is dedicated to both Girdwood and Kincaid. We are very fortunate to benefit from her expertise. She helps organize our benchmark assessments and data meetings. Thank you Nancy for all the time you give to Kincaid even when you are not assigned to us! We could not do it without you!"

Masks Students should bring 2-3 clean masks to school each day. Make sure masks are comfortable and fit over the nose and mouth without slipping down. | Recess We are not quite ready to play without coats! Each class will have a section of the playground to play with their friends in their class. Masks will be worn during recess. Please come prepared to play in cold weather. Students must have coats, hats, golves, snowpants and boots. Label all items. | Water Bottles Required Our filling stations are open but our fountains are closed.

Children should stay home if they have a fever or have covid symptoms. Do not come to school if your child is a close contact of a known positive. Check with our nurse and she will give details on when the student can return to school | Additional Floor Signage If a class does need to walk down the hallway, they will remain on the right hand side and walk at a safe distance behind their classmates. Masks will be worn. | Clsssroom Environment Most classrooms have individual desks placed at the maximum space available in the classroom. Extra furniture has been removed to create more space between students. Classrooms that have tables, will use clear dividers between student. |
