Dear Parents/ Guardians,
As we prepare to return to school, please note the following reminders regarding our safety procedures, similar to last school year:
· All students and staff are to wear face coverings when indoors. This includes school buses. Masks are not required to be worn when outdoors, including recess. Neck gaiters, bandanas, and masks with valves on them are not approved. Students will receive mask breaks at least three times a day.
· Students will maintain three feet of distance from each other when in school. Distance will be increased to six feet when unmasked during lunch. Lunch and Breakfast will be in the small gym as it was last year.
· Parents must complete daily paper screeners for students before they board the bus or are dropped off. These are available on the district website. Students must show these for entry to the building and submit them to their teacher. (Please use the NEW updated version below.)
· Drop-off and pick-up procedures will remain the same as last year. Students may be dropped off beginning at 8:05 in the lower side lot. We recommend coming a bit later if possible as traffic is considerable at this time. Please follow staff directions and do not allow your child out of the car until the signal is given.
· Pick-up begins after the buses depart at approximately 2:35. Please pull up to the marked area for your child's grade level and have a photo ID ready. Students must board from the curbside only. If you are picking up multiple children they will be at the highest-grade level of the group.
· Please continue to inform your child's teacher and Nurse Robyn of any illness promptly.
· There will be no virtual option this year and if a student is absent they will be given work to make up when they return. If your child is going to be absent for an extended period please be in contact with their teacher.
· We will continue to hold most meetings and events virtually this year. Unfortunately, we cannot welcome parents into the building at this time for most events. Our PTA is working on planning some outdoor evening events. More information to come.
