Conversations to have with your child(ren) about COVID safety
- In-person learning will not look or feel the same as they remember it.
- While this is an exciting time and natural for students to see their friends, Social distancing MUST occur AT ALL TIMES. There should be no physical contact during recess or P.E, or anytime during the day. At no time will students be allowed to have any physical contact; no touching, hugging, walking in pairs, or groups.
- You must wear a mask the entire day including during recess and P.E.
- Families must complete the quarterly attestation page and be honest about their child’s health status.
- Temperatures will be checked every morning upon entry into the school building and again before lunch or recess.
- All students will eat in the lunchroom. Students will be assigned to a table and seat markers will be at each table. Students must remain seated on markers at all times with their masks on, unless they are eating.
- To prevent the spread of aerosols, there will be no talking during lunch while students are seated in close proximity to one another.
- Once you finish your lunch, you must immediately put your mask back on.
- If your child is exhibiting any symptoms of illness or has a temperature, keep them home.
- Students who exhibit any signs or symptoms of illness during the school day will be removed from class, sent to the care room, and a parent will be called to pick them up immediately. While schools may feel restricted, these measures are put in place to keep all students and staff safe.
