Important Updates:

Please review these very important changes below (again all of this information and more details and videos about all carpool procedures are available on the Carpool page on the school website):

Self Screening and Temperature Checks

The self-screening and temperature checks are for all students - whether they are arriving during Early Arrival, Morning Community Center drop-off, or Morning HOV drop-off.
Please self screen using this flowchart (originally published in our Return To School Plan communicated in July 2020) prior to coming to school each day.
Students must remain in their cars until a temperature check is complete.
Students with a temperature below 100.0 will be permitted to proceed to their classroom.
Students with a temperature of 100.0 or greater will proceed to a secondary temperature check.
If the secondary temperature check confirms a temperature of 100.0 degrees or greater students will be sent home.

Exiting Vehicles - Morning Drop-Off

For all students arriving for drop-off at either Early Arrival, HOV, or Community Center.
Teachers will not be able to assist with opening doors, unloading bags, or unbuckling students in car seats this year.
Please have your child open the door themselves, or be ready to open the door for them.

Entering Vehicles - Afternoon Pick-Up

For all students departing at either HOV, or Community Center.
Parents and/or students are responsible for opening car doors and loading bags.
Teachers are not allowed to touch vehicles or personal belongings.

Carpool Tags Information

Carpool tags will be sent home via backpack mail to your oldest / only the 1st day of school - Tuesday, September 8th.
If you have your carpool hang tags and backpack tags - please use them!
If you know your number and color but don’t have your replacement tags yet, please write your number / color on a piece of paper for your car dash.
If you do not have your tags and don’t know your number/color, write your Last Name on a piece of paper for your dash.
If you are HOV, you have been emailed your number. Write your number and Last Name on a piece of paper for your dash.
If you have a carpool question, please email carpool@saintcecilia.org
This will ALL help the teachers determine who you are when going through carpool.

Our mission at St Cecilia Catholic School is the ongoing Catholic formation and education of the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit, in preparation for an adult life of commitment and service.
