Certification Lanyards - Daily "Homework" for Families
Please read carefully as this is a task that MUST be done daily.
We want you to be comfortable sending your student into school. All staff members have been certifying their health on a daily basis. They will continue to do so, reporting any symptoms that could potentially be indicative of the Coronavirus, as well as any potential exposure to others exhibiting symptoms. Just as our staff is being asked to do this, we are in turn asking that all families certify the health of their student (s) prior to sending them to school. Staff will also be taking each student's temperature as they arrive to school. A temperature of 100.4 or greater will prohibit a student from attending school. After a fever is assessed, a student must be fever free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medication before returning to school.
- Each student should have a lanyard with a certification card inside. These were passed out at our first material pick up. If you do not have one, please contact your child's teacher.
- The card in the pouch of the lanyard has a series of questions on the back.
- Read and consider the questions carefully each day. The system is only as good as the information being signed off on by each family.
- Sign the front of the card every day and send it to school on your child.
If a student arrives without a lanyard certifying their health, families will be called to certify their child's health before they will be permitted into the classroom. Finally, for the safety of all, please keep your child (ren) home if they are not feeling well or present with any symptoms.
Arrival to School
Many of our students come to school on the bus. If your child arrives by bus, an adult will meet the bus. Certification lanyards will be checked and temperatures taken. Only after these two steps are completed will children be able to enter the building. Adults will escort students from the bus directly into the classroom.
If you have opted out of D15 provided bus transportation and will be dropping your child off at school, pull into the parking lot and veer immediately to the right. Follow the lot around until you arrive at Door #1 - at the flagpole. An adult will be outside to greet you and your student. Additional adults will be available to verify certification cards and check temperatures. To accommodate the number of drop offs, we will begin this process at 8:20am. For safety reasons, all students should exit cars from the backseat of the passenger side. Please adjust all car seats/booster seats prior to arrival. Students will then be escorted to their classrooms. No parents will be permitted to enter the school building.
For either pick up or drop off by car, please remain in your vehicle with a mask on
Dismissal Procedure
If you are picking your student up, please pull into the parking lot and veer immediately to the right. Follow the lot around to Door #1 - at the flagpole. Remain in your car and pull forward as directed by staff. An adult will bring your student to your vehicle. For safety reasons, all students should enter cars into the backseat of the passenger side. Please adjust all car seats/booster seats prior to arrival.
CAR SIGNS with your students first and last name will be printed and sent home for all families. Whether you pick up regularly or just occasionally, these signs will aid us in getting your student(s) to your car in a timely manner. As you pull forward in the car line, please hold up the sign for our staff to see. Thank you for keeping these in your vehicle.

FREE Breakfast Served Daily
Breakfast is part of a relief effort related to COVID 19. This offering is for all students, regardless of need. The program runs from the first day of school until December 31, 2020. To minimize the impact on instructional minutes, yet still provide breakfast food to our students, we will be sending home a bag of five breakfasts each Monday. These items will last until your student brings home another bag on the following Monday. You will receive additional information about the continuation of this program at parent/teacher conference time.
Please communicate any food allergies or dietary restrictions to school nurse Sherin Thomas.
