We have successfully completed the first month of school. Can you believe it? Our scholars and teachers are working harder than ever to make this the most extraordinary year ever and they are off to a great start. Please continue to reach out to your teachers with any concerns you may have regarding your scholar's academic needs. The classroom teacher is the best line of support for classroom specific information.

Thank you for your support and flexibility as we had a few staffing changes that impacted some of our Kindergarten and second grade students. All of our scholars are settled in with their new teachers and classmates and are doing well.

Dolphins, we appreciate your attention to and intentionality when it comes to keeping our scholars and staff safe. Thank you to those who have sent masks and ensure that your scholar arrives at school each day with a mask on. Also, thank you for keeping your students home when they are sick. The best mitigation plan to decrease/stop the spread of COVID is to not send students to school when they are not well. Should your son/daughter begin to develop symptoms such as a runny nose, congestion, cough, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or severe headache, it is necessary to keep him/her home until those symptoms clear for 24 hours. If a scholar arrives at school with any of the symptoms listed, he or she will be sent home. Safety is our number one priority.

Be reminded that early checkout/dismissal ends promptly at 2:00PM. Anyone arriving to pick your student up after 2:00 PM will be required to wait for our dismissal process to take place as usual. Your attention to this expectation is greatly appreciated. If you are planning to change your scholar's mode of transportation home, please inform the homeroom teacher as well as email the front office to ensure that all parties are aware.

We continue to ask for your support as we navigate this next month of school. Please plan to attend our next PTA meeting on 9/28 at 5:30 PM. If you missed the first one, information on how to join is available in this SMORE. We Need You!!!

Dolphins, it is a privilege to serve such extraordinary families. Thank you for all you do to continue to make our partnership strong and meaningful. Have an extraordinary week, Dolphins!

In Partnership,

Principal Wilson, Proud Dolphin

It is imperative that if your scholar has come in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID19, if your scholar has tested positive for COVID19, or if he/she is awaiting test results, that this information is reported to the district Parent Reporting Portal immediately.

Please DO NOT send any students to school exhibiting any signs of illness, particularly those resembling COVID19 symptoms. Any student with the following symptoms will be required to be picked up from school immediately and asked to remain home until they are symptom free for 24 hours.

• Fever
• Congestion or Runny Nose
• Cough
• Headache
• Stomach ache accompanied with vomiting or diarrhea

Any child exhibiting any of the above symptoms will be sent to the nurse's office and immediate pick up is required.

Do know that it is our priority to continue to keep our staff and students safe and we need your support with doing so.

All students are required to wear a mask to school every day. Please refrain from sending your scholar to school with out an appropriate face covering. We have noticed a number of scholars arriving without masks and while we have replacement masks on hand, we are not prepared to provide masks to every scholar every day. Please help us by making sure your son/daughter has a mask when leaving the house each day. We are accepting donations of youth size masks.
