School Board Direction to Return all Students
to Five Days/week on October 12
During Tuesday night’s Board Meeting, the School Board directed the staff to transition from the current hybrid schedule to all our students being in-seat 5 days/week on Monday, October 12th.
As a result, the following changes/requests are being made:
- Students in the Home Study program are asked to remain in the program through December and, if possible, through the end of the school year.
- Parents are asked to strictly adhere to the guidelines of remaining in/with their car when dropping off and picking up their students (not walking up to the fence/gate). For pickup, parents are welcome to stand outside their car and wave to their student if their student doesn’t see them.
- Any parent on campus is required to wear a face covering while visiting the office or who is scheduled to volunteer in their child’s classroom.
- K-3 students will continue to be dismissed at 2:00 pm and 4-8 students dismissed at 2:30 during regular school days.
- All Wednesday’s will be a minimum day with students released as follows:
- K-3 students released at 12:25.
- 4-8 students released at 12:35.
- All other minimum days are cancelled except for the following: October 26-30, June 3.
- Students in grades TK-2 continue to be strongly encouraged to wear face coverings at all times. Students in grades 3-8 must wear face coverings at all times.
- Exceptions are made for eating, recess, and physical education.
- Parents are strongly encouraged to conduct wellness and temperature checks each morning prior to a student returning to school. Any student with COVID symptoms or a temperature must remain home. If a student has a temperature or COVID symptoms, parents are encouraged to take their student to their family doctor and provide a doctor’s clearance note and/or a COVID-19 test result as soon as possible. Otherwise, parents are asked to consult with the school office in determining the student’s return plan once the student is fever/symptom free.
- Daycare enrollment is limited to 20 students/day. Parents who have not utilized daycare but would like to, are asked to contact the office to get on a wait list. Based on this list, the school may be able to add staff and accommodate additional students.
- Additional daycare spaces may be available during the Wednesday minimum days. Parents will need to contact the office for more information.
- Students will continue to be in cohort groups in order to minimize the number of students having to be quarantined due to a student or staff member testing positive or being exposed to COVID-19.
We are excited about students returning. It will be vitally important that parents work with the school on the above expectations/changes and the requirements of our School Reopening Plan (available on our website) so we can continue to have students here 5 days a week. As with all plans during this time, plans can change based on requirements from the State and County Health Department or as we address programmatic needs.
