Woo Hoo! We are returning to school! Woo Hoo! We are returning to school!

Here is what you need to know about the return to in-person learning!

We are excited to welcome you back to school! With that said, we now more than ever need to be safe, healthy and smart about how we interact with our friends and teachers at school. Change is difficult but hopefully you will find the information you need in this special back to school addition of the newsletter. So let's have a little fun while we learn more about what to expect for drop off, pick up, safety, and staying healthy!

Drop off - What our mornings should look like:

Thanks to Mason and family for helping us demonstrate the drop off procedures!


Before you leave the house:


Answer the following questions:


  1. Has your child had any of the following symptoms: 100.4 Fever or Higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in the past 72 hours?
  2. Does anyone in your household have any of the above symptoms?
  3. Has your student been in close contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
  4. Has your student had any medication to reduce a fever before coming to school?

The student must be excluded from school if the answer to any of the above questions is "yes".


Remember to bring a clean mask to school every day.


Once you arrive:


The drop off will be at the back of Markell Hall and Robin Hall the front doors will remain locked and parents will not be admitted to the building. Drive around the building and wait for the attendant to take your student's temperature. Do not let your student out of the car before their temperature is taken.


If your student's temperature is normal they may get out of the car and walk into the building.

Each child will sanitize their hands a the station by the door and proceed up the stairs directly to their classroom.
