Safety Reminders: 

Our school and school district will maintain our safety procedures regarding masks, hand washing and regular cleaning.

We would appreciate having all families wear face masks when dropping off or picking up from school. In addition, please help our students keep them on until you leave our school and school grounds. Thank you! 

Face Coverings - please remember that students will be required to have a face covering at school and on the bus. The most recent guidance from our state states that if a student is exposed to a positive case in a community setting such as school and both people are properly wearing masks, the exposed individual would not need to quarantine. This will only apply to students who are wearing masks, not face shields. Our most recent Return To Learn family frequently asked questions document can be found here.

Visitors and Volunteers - to support safety, we will not be able to allow visitors or volunteers to enter our classrooms. We will continue to have adults in the hallway to help our students each morning. In addition, if you come to the building to pick up your child, you can enter the office or call and we will walk the student outside to our visitor parking spots.

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, we ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. Please do not come before 8:30. After 8:30, we will continue to ask students to report to their classrooms. At the end of the day, we will dismiss students by grade to the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home. Our staff will walk students to the door. There will be no after school activities so we will expect students to leave school immediately following dismissal. Thank you for your patience as we work to support student safety each morning and afternoon.

Additional Announcements:

Virtual Literacy Night - We are excited to share the presentation from our literacy night as well as the video. We hope our families use these resources to support reading at home and as we look ahead to summer!

Morning Arrival and Afternoon Dismissal Reminder - as weather gets warmer, this is a friendly reminder that students should not arrive before we open our doors at 8:30. In addition, when students are dismissed at the end of the day they should head directly home unless they are under the direct supervision of an adult. We do not have supervision for students at these times. Thank you for helping to support student safety!
