Hybrid Learning / Brick to Click

Dear Families,
Our staff has worked very hard to prepare for students who are returning and creating plans for students who are remaining at home with Brick to Click Instruction.
We are so excited for next week when some of our students are able to return to school.
We look forward to taking these next steps with you.
Warmly,
Lydia

These masks should fit properly, covering the student's mouth and nose at all times. They should not have holes or vents.
Gaiters and Scarf Masks should NOT be worn to school.
We will provide disposable masks for students or campus visitors if they do not have one.
We will provide small paper bags for mask safe-keeping and cleanliness at lunch and during breaks. Students can also choose to bring a small container or bag for this purpose.
Students are expected to wear their mask indoors at all times. Teachers will discuss with students the procedure for taking a mask break.
Routines for frequent handwashing and cleaning will be established and practiced in each classroom.
