Dear Parents,
As stated in the Head’s Notes, our focus is on getting more grade-levels returning to campus. With Spring Break upon us, please be advised that if we get a notification during the week off that we are permitted to bring Elementary School back to campus, we will be communicating plans by direct email before Monday, March 22.
Remember, at the present time, we have no indication when our ES students will be permitted to return to campus. But, we want to be ready when we are given permission.
Here is what you can expect when we know more about our return to campus:
We will hold parent coffees to present the Elementary School hybrid plan in more detail and to answer any questions.
We will provide a video showing the procedure for how students should enter school.
We will have a short new student orientation before the first day back on campus.
The first four days of school for EY, KG, and grade 1 and the first two days of school for grades 2-5, will be half days with dismissal at 12:00 p.m.
Students will be cohorted by homeroom and will be on campus on either Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday.
Students in grades EY, KG, and grade 1 should plan to be on campus four (4) days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday).
Wednesdays will remain virtual for all ES students.
