Hellow Grizzly Families!!
What a great first week of having students back in the building! I am starting to feel like I work in a school again. Thank you to all our kinder and first grade families for helping us get this process off to a smooth start! We are looking forward to having our 2nd & 3rd graders coming in on Thursday the 18th!

Bus information should be arriving in your mailboxes no later than the middle of next week.
Arrival & Dismissal: It might take some extra time as we get the routines smooth, so consider that as you plan your morning
In-person Arrival Time: 11:05-11:15 Students in seats, ready to learn.
Dismissal Time: 3:50 Students escorted to their departure destination-This may take a few minutes and we thank you for your patience.
Save time in parent pick-up and ride the bus. As we begin to bring in our 2/3rd grade students our pick up loop is going to become longer. There are only 2-4 students currently riding our buses so there is plenty of room to spread out.
Private Vehicle Transported Students- All personal vehicles are required to use the parent loop and adults are to remain in the vehicle. In order for this to run smoothly, we ask that your student have everything in their bag and ready to hop out of their vehicle upon entering the loop.
We will have all of our staff outside supporting students upon arrival and exit.
Again, parents/guardians are to remain in their vehicles for before and after school pick-up. This will help us meet our health department guidelines so our students can continue in-person learning.
Walkers- when you arrive on campus, you will have a staff member giving you directions to ensure social distancing. It is important to follow those directions so you can return to in person learning. Once students reach our tiny west parking lot, any persons accompanying students will need to remain there at that point. Only students will be able to continue further. We will have all staff outside for arrival and dismissal to ensure student safety and support.
