Morning Procedures
As Dr. Markwardt and I have communicated, we will begin letting students into the building at 9:00 a.m. If your child is sent on the bus, this should not be too much of a change, as the busses will drop off at the front as they have in the past.
For parent morning drop-offs, we ask that you work with us as we work to make drop off as streamlined as possible, as we want to get all of our students into the building as efficiently as possible to maximize instructional time. We would like families to get in lines in the exact same manner as the end-of-the-day procedure. We will have 4 lines in the parking lot where the school staff can signal for each line to pull forward. Cars will pull forward to the designated drop-off zone. Staff will assist students out of vehicles and into the building.
Our goal is to have everyone unloaded and in classrooms by 9:10 for classes to begin. We recognize this may not be possible until we have practiced this new routine. Know that we will NOT be marking tardy while we are practicing and seeing how long this new procedure will take.
I will be in touch with adjustments that need to be made as well as a final tardy time once we have a good sense of how efficiently this can be implemented. Some of this will depend on how many families decide to drop off rather than have their children ride the bus. Please know that if your child elects to have breakfast at school, this will need to be efficient so that all students can get to class as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much for your support and consideration.
Return to In-Person Instruction: Please send in a towel and reusable water bottle.
These towel bags will be kept on the hook in the classroom and allow students to sit on the grass for instruction or eat lunch when appropriate.
We no longer have drinking fountains, but we do have a bottle filler station. So please supply your child with a reusable water bottle. The students can refill their water bottles at the station when needed.
