Note regarding curriculum:
Due to the transition in learning models, there may be an overlap in the curriculum when moving to a new teacher and classroom.

Buses… Students who live one mile or more from school qualify for bus transportation. There is no fee for a bus pass this year. There are two ways to register: 1. On the district website: https://www.chelmsford.k12.ma.us/domain/90 OR 2. email Peter Brekalis - brekalisp@chelmsford.k12.ma.us After registration is complete, you will receive a bus pass with your bus number and stop information.
Bus routes are no longer published. Parents can access the pickup and drop off information on their student's X2 account.
Lunch…Students will either be eating in their classroom or in the cafeteria. They have been assigned a seat and will stay in this seat for lunch for the remainder of the year. This is necessary to ensure students are 6 ft apart while unmasked to eat.
Bag lunches will be provided at no cost for the remainder of the year, there is only one option for the district provided lunch each day. Please see the lunch menu on the district website: https://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/webmenus2/#/view?id=5ff71d00534a13110c8b4580&siteCode=3369
You may bring a lunch and snack from home but please refrain from sending in nut products for the greater good of the school community. Students with allergies are asked to wash their hands with soap and water, before and after eating, rather than use hand sanitizer.
Special Subjects...Ms. Enghdahl, Ms. MacKessy, Mr. McGillicuddy, and Ms. Joos will be providing instruction in the general education classrooms or outside when feasible. PE will be held in the gym or outside. Special subjects will be delivered in-person for those in school, 50 minutes per day. Students learning remotely will participate in a 50 minute synchronous lesson daily.
Breakfast… We will not be serving breakfast in the classroom. Breakfast items will come home with students each afternoon for the next morning.
Recess… Students will stay with their class during recess and rotate through locations on the playground each week. (ie, play structure, swings, kickball/grass area, blacktop, and grassy area between the blacktop and structure). Students will be masked at recess unless they need a mask break. We will identify mask break locations at each space for mask breaks to occur at recess time.
Snack… We will continue to have our snack breaks outside weather permitting. Students will be distanced more than 6 ft to eat snack and can remove their mask since they will be seated in one location that is more than 6 ft from others.
During inclement weather, will divide the students up and have half of the students leave the classroom for snack break to ensure students are 6 feet apart while their masks are off.
Before and After School Childcare
We will not be providing before or after school childcare this school year through the Community Education Program. We anticipate before and after school childcare will resume in the fall for the 2021/22 school year.
