LenoxElementaryFamily Newsletter-March 4, 2021
Greetings Families,


Yesterday, HSD sent out communication regarding the most recent return to school planning update. Some highlights from that information are:


  • Lenox's Hybrid start time will be 7:45am and our end time will be 12:00pm. This will obviously create some changes in the live session schedule for our CDL students. More info to come.
  • Students in grades PreK-2 will attend school in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Whether or not they will attend school in person on Wednesdays is still being determined. We will have a final decision on that by our March 17 update.
  • Students in grades 3-6 will attend school on Mondays and Thursdays if their last name begins with A-L, and on Tuesdays and Fridays if their last name begins with M-Z. Wednesday will remain an asynchronous Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) day, as it is now.

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Gina McLain

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration for the 2021-22 school year opens Monday, Mar. 1. Children must be five years old by Sep. 1, 2021, to enroll. Register at your “home” school* using the Enrollment Process as soon as possible. Doing so helps schools ensure they have the staff in place to welcome and support your child through a positive and rewarding experience. (*To confirm your assigned home school of attendance, please use the “Find my Home School” online tool or contact Transportation at 503-844-1123). There will be a virtual Kindergarten Orientation the week of May 3rd. More details coming soon. We also invite all families of incoming kindergartners to visit the Virtual Kindergarten Fair website, which features important school-specific and community partner information.

Meal Distribution Changes

As a reminder, meal distribution changes began Monday, Mar. 1, and will remain in place through Friday, Mar. 19.

All walk zone* meal deliveries will be made by vans or other designated vehicles, not school buses. (*Walk zone is within one mile of elementary schools.) School buses will continue to deliver meals outside of walk zones, similar to the method used in the spring of 2020. Many pick-up times will be different, so please review the walk zone and bus delivery stop lists for the schedule in your neighborhood.

Hybrid Busing Information

Families of students in grades PreK-2 who live outside of the walk zone and have indicated they need bus transportation will be contacted with routing information by Friday, Mar. 19. Bus routing information for students in higher grade levels will be provided at least one week in advance of their hybrid start date. If you have questions, please contact the Transportation department at 503-844-1123.

Mask Information

All students who are returning in our Hybrid model must wear masks the whole time they are at school. Please click on this link for HSD Mask Guidance. It's also a great idea to encourage your child to wear a mask for long periods of time to build up their mask-wearing ability by the time they return to school. Thanks!

Getting Ready for Hybrid School Bingo!

If you have chosen Hybrid for your child, please click on this link or see the picture below to participate in a fun way to get ready for Hybrid! There are many activities for your child to participate in to get ready for the return to school, such as finding their backpack, having a routine for charging their Chromebooks nightly, getting their bedtime and morning routines set to be ready to get to school on time and much more! Also, please let your child know what their school plan will be either coming in-person to Hybrid or staying in CDL.
