We are looking forward to our first day of school this coming Tuesday, September 8th. Here are some IMPORTANT reminders:
* Morning arrival for K-8 (not using before care) is anytime between 7:30am & 7:50am. There will be NO PARKING in the Staff Lots (this includes the parking area on the back side of the Pre-Kindergarten – this is reserved for staff only).
* Please check your child’s temperature before coming to school (for everyone’s safety, you must keep them home if they have a fever).
*All staff and in-person learners must wear a cloth mask during the school day and on the school bus. Student face coverings must meet the following conditions:
Fit snugly around the nose and cheek area to avoid gaps.
The fabric should be thick enough not to see the sun/light through.
No exhalation valves or vents in masks as they allow unfiltered air to flow out.
No bandanas or neck gaiters
Masks may include school-appropriate pictures but no slogans or sayings
* All absences must be called into the school Nurse by 8:00am. We will be tracking absences and symptoms very carefully, please do NOT send absences via email.
* Please make sure your child has a water bottle every day and a healthy snack as per our school policies. For younger students, please make sure items are easily able to be unpackaged by your child.
