For those families that have chosen to participate in onsite learning, students will be attending school on Monday and Wednesday from 8:30-2:45. The onsite learning experience will be altered slightly from a regular school day experience as recess and lunch breaks will be staggered to minimize the number of students in the same area at one time. In addition, we have organized classrooms so that students will only have contact with two staff members during their time at school; only having two staff members inside the classroom will minimize exposure and enhance safety throughout the day. Classrooms have a maximum of 13 students, and we have removed all extra furniture to create more space and distance for students as they are in the classrooms. Last week’s newsletter also outlined some of the safety procedures that we will be following:
· No parents are permitted to enter the school
· Class size will be a maximum of 13
· Temperatures will be taken at the beginning of the day for students and staff
· Hand washing/sanitizing between transitions (higher frequency)
· High touch surface wipe downs at specific points during the day
· Minimizing physical contact will be encouraged and reinforced
· Teaching is encouraged to be outdoors when possible and suitable
· EC will not have field trips or be facilitating special events like Sports Day
The Elementary Campus will also be offering Essential Service Workers options for their children to attend extra days. Those who filled out and indicated their ESW status, we will be contacting you soon to best understand your needs. Thank you for your patience as we design and set up this growing service during the Restart BC initiative.
For those families that will be participating in on-site learning starting on June 1st, you will be receiving more detailed information in the upcoming week. If families decide to join onsite learning at a later time, please let
Mrs. Teodoro
know, through an email, your changed intentions 48 hours before you plan on attending. We cannot accommodate children onsite unless we have been advised that they will be in attendance.
No matter your decision as a family, we are confident that your child will continue to receive a great education from our hard working and supportive staff. Thank you for your continued participation and investment in your children’s future as we partner through these turbulent times.
