News from New Haven
October 2020
Dear Families,
I've told our staff this will be the year of a million "1st days of school", but I"m hoping that the transitions get smoother as we go. I can tell you that just the arrival and dismissal process has already become so much more smooth. We will continue to gain more instructional time back as we get our processes in place.
I have, and will continue to, send home updates to keep you informed. There are a couple of repeats for those that missed them last time. As guidelines change and restriction protocols lift we will hopefully be able to add back in some of our activities, etc. I add those to our newsletters, as well as, update using Bloomz.
Letter from our Superintendent regarding reporting Covid cases
Board of Education
Drop off times - Doors open at 8:30 am.
PLEASE do not drop your child off before 8:30. There are NO adults available to monitor them, and this past week, there were children left unattended before 8:00 am out front of the school.
Proposed Steeplechase Elementary Boundaries
I am requesting that individuals not congregate during arrival and dismissal times for our school day. I do appreciate you respecting the safety and logistics of our instructional day. Arrival times are 8:30 am, 12:00 to 12:35, and 3:20 to 3:50 pm.
Thank you.
