A Peek at the Month:

September Mindset- Passion First

The unit will expose us to the understanding that we are all individuals with our own unique passions and talents. In this unit we will learn to spend time doing the things that we truly enjoy, to align our core values to our interests, and to be true to ourselves by aligning our passions with what matters most to us.

Masks

All students returning for in-person learning will be required to wear a mask; this includes on buses, in common areas of schools, and in classrooms. Students should wear a mask and consider bringing an extra just in case. Be sure to write your child’s name on all personal items. Periodic mask breaks may be coordinated by teachers for their students in a safe, physically distanced manner.

Water Bottles

Students should plan to bring a refillable water bottle to school. All water fountains are turned off in the school building. Water bottles can be refilled in the bottle fillers during the day. Make sure your child’s name is on the water bottle.

First Day Before and After Care Program

Unfortunately, parents will not be allowed to walk their child to class. We will ensure our school staff are there to welcome them and help them find their way. All school supplies should be labeled with your child’s name. Supplies will not be shared at this time. Not sure what you need to bring? Check our website for our school supply lists.

Before and After Care will be offered on the cohort days that students are assigned to be in the building. We will send out updated information (with fees and outline) today. Instead of paying by the week (since it won’t be a full week), families will pay for the two days that services will be rendered.

Daily Monitoring

It is important to monitor your child’s health every day. The most critical tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19 is for any student that is sick or has been exposed to someone confirmed to have COVID-19 to stay home. If you are awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test, do not come to school.

Please review these guidelines from the Department of Public Health about returning to school. This document informs parents of expectations of home screening that they need to do with their children each day before sending them to school.

By sending your child to school, you are attesting that your child is healthy, has been fever-free (without fever reducing medication) for 24-hours, and has met the requirements in the Return to School Guidance (Spanish).

Upcoming Dates to Add to YOUR Calendar!

October Mindset- We Are Connected!

Students will learn the We are Connected Mindset. This unit will encourage us to seek out and maximize positive relationships with people that can help us achieve our dreams. We will explore the idea of surrounding ourselves with people that build us up and inspire us to live our best life, and we will learn to actively seek ways to offer kindness in order to strengthen these relationships.
