A Peek at the Month:

September Mindset- Passion First

The unit will expose us to the understanding that we are all individuals with our own unique passions and talents. In this unit we will learn to spend time doing the things that we truly enjoy, to align our core values to our interests, and to be true to ourselves by aligning our passions with what matters most to us.

**Please know that due to COVID-19, the items listed in the Parent Bulletin are subject to change. We thank you in advance for your flexibility and will notify you immediately of any changes.**

Tentative- Phase: Hybrid/ Cohort A/B Model All Students

Teachers will be reaching out to all families to share specific cohorts.

(This does not apply to students that enrolled in Distance Learning previously. They will continue learning digitally.)

Masks

All students returning for in-person learning will be required to wear a mask; this includes on buses, in common areas of schools, and in classrooms. Students should wear a mask and consider bringing an extra just in case. Be sure to write your child’s name on all personal items. Periodic mask breaks will be coordinated by teachers for their students in a safe, physically distanced manner.

Water Bottles

Students should plan to bring a refillable water bottle to school. All water fountains will be turned off in the school building. Water bottles can be refilled in the bottle fillers during the day. Make sure your child’s name is on the water bottle.

First Day of School

Unfortunately, parents will not be allowed to enter the building to walk children to class. We will ensure our school staff are ready to welcome them and help them find their way. Please label all school supplies with your child’s name. Supplies will not be shared at this time. Check our website for our school supply lists.

Before and After Care Program

Before and After Care will be offered on the cohort days that students are assigned to be in the building. Additional information can be found here:

Daily Monitoring

It is important to monitor your child’s health every day. The most critical tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19 is for any student that is sick or has been exposed to someone confirmed to have COVID-19 to stay home. If you are awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test, do not send your child to school.

Please review these guidelines from the Department of Public Health about returning to school. This document informs parents of expectations of home screening that they need to do with their children each day before sending them to school.

By sending your child to school, you are attesting that your child is healthy, has been fever-free (without fever reducing medication) for 24-hours, and has met the requirements in the Return to School Guidance (Spanish).
