Welcome Back, Patriots! 🎉 Welcome Back, Patriots! 🎉

Oh man we sure love our staff and students. It was a long summer alone in that big old school but YEEHAWW. I am so impressed with how the first three days went. We did recognize a few things:


1. Carpool is a little easier without Kinders (it may get a little slower starting on Wednesday) and since JSD has not started back yet the roads were less congested. Outside of those variables I have to say I'm impressed with you for following the carpool process and procedures and with our staff for crushing it.

2. We were like "why does it seem like there are so many more kids on the playground"? Well we figured out that because breakfast is not free anymore we have a fraction of the students in the cafeteria, hence more on the playground. We are adding extra supervision and also a "Cozy Cafeteria Corner" for a limited number of students each morning:

¡Ay, cómo queremos a nuestro personal y a nuestros alumnos! Fue un verano largo, solos en esa escuela grande y vieja, pero ¡síííí! Estoy muy impresionada con cómo transcurrieron los primeros tres días. Nos dimos cuenta de algunas cosas:

1. Compartir coche es un poco más fácil sin kínder (puede que se vuelva un poco más lento a partir del miércoles) y, como el Distrito Escolar Independiente de Jacksonville aún no ha vuelto, las carreteras estaban menos congestionadas. Dejando eso de lado, debo decir que estoy impresionada con ustedes por seguir el proceso y los procedimientos de compartir coche, y con nuestro personal por su excelente desempeño.

2. Pensábamos: "¿Por qué parece que hay tantos niños más en el patio?". Bueno, nos dimos cuenta de que, como el desayuno ya no es gratuito, tenemos una fracción de los alumnos en la cafetería, por lo que hay más en el patio. Estamos añadiendo supervisión adicional y también un "Rincón Acogedor de la Cafetería" para un número limitado de alumnos cada mañana.

DashPass - How it works

Can I Accompany My Student(s) Onto Campus?

For the first three days of school ONLY, parents may accompany their student onto campus. This is permitted but NOT required - typically parents of new/younger students take advantage of this allowance.


Kindergarten: Aug 20, 21, and 22.


PROCEDURE:

If you are coming onto campus with your kiddo, please park OFF CAMPUS and walk onto school grounds using sidewalks and crosswalks only. Enter the campus through the kindergarten gate on the EAST side of the Red Lane.


You and your student are free to play on the playground or, if your student is eating breakfast, eat in the cafeteria. Please do NOT go to your student's class until you hear the announcement (approx 8:25) to go to class. Once you drop your student off please say a quick goodbye and exit the campus so that the teacher can begin instruction.


SOLO durante los primeros tres días de clases, los padres pueden acompañar a sus hijos al campus. Esto está permitido, pero NO es obligatorio; normalmente, los padres de estudiantes nuevos o más jóvenes aprovechan esta oportunidad.


Kínder: 20, 21 y 22 de agosto


PROCEDIMIENTO:

Si viene al campus con su hijo, por favor, estaciónese FUERA DEL CAMPUS y camine hacia el recinto escolar utilizando únicamente las aceras y los cruces peatonales. Ingrese al campus por la puerta del kínder en el lado ESTE del carril rojo.


Usted y su hijo pueden jugar en el patio de recreo o, si su hijo está desayunando, comer en la cafetería. Por favor, NO vaya a la clase de su hijo hasta que escuche el anuncio (aproximadamente a las 8:25) para ir a clase. Una vez que deje a su hijo, despídase brevemente y salga del campus para que el maestro pueda comenzar la clase.

A continuación se muestra el código de vestimenta para que lo revise. ¡Gracias!
