With our return to full in-person learning comes many changes. Most of them have been in place now for a few days, and they seem to be working well. From Bus drivers to parents, students to staff, and custodians to School Resource Officers, we can't thank you all enough for your patience and your ability to be so flexible.

Each day we hope these changes become a little more routine, which can hopefully lead to a speedier process as time goes on. For now, if you see any ways for us to improve these processes that we haven't thought of yet, then please feel free to reach out to us.

When in-person learning started 5 days a week on April 5th, we anticipated a significant number of parent pick-up vehicles. Our plan is still to continue to have parent pick-up traffic go around behind the building in the same manner that it did this year in hybrid mode.

• A staff member will be posted at the crosswalk where the driveway turns behind the building to direct parent pick-up traffic.

• When our regular (see pink on the map) parent pick-up lane fills up, we will start using the lane closest to the building (see blue on the map).

• The first lane will be closed with a cone when the second lane is opened. All cars in the first lane (pink) will pick up their children before the cars in the second lane (blue).

How can you help? Please help your child learn how to get into the vehicle by themselves if at all possible and please be patient. We will do our best to be efficient, but we must always prioritize safety. PLEASE DO NOT PASS ANYONE.

As has been the case all year, we are asking that students bring a water bottle to school each day since the water bubblers are not in service this school year. We have had some warm days already, and only anticipate more of them, so bring that water in!

Please find the updated MCAS calendar below. We will be communicating with Cohort C families about the logistics of MCAS during the week after school vacation.

The Oakmont chapter of the French Honor Society cordially invites students in the Elementary schools and their parents to a showing of the movie 'The Little Prince' in the Oakmont Auditorium at 6pm on Friday April 9th.

This is a free showing, however the students are raising money for UNICEF and any donations to that cause will be gratefully accepted.

Masks are required, and seating will be arranged by 'bubble' with 6' social distancing between bubbles. If you plan to attend, could you please complete the attached form to let us know how many seats to reserve in your 'bubble'? Seating is limited to 100 people, and seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.Google Form to request seats

We look forward to seeing you there!
