April always brings about change, but this year is certainly going to be a record-setting one. We are very excited to welcome students back into JRB for 5 days of in-person learning. Our recent survey results pointed to a few topics that needed to be addressed, so here is our best attempt:
VACCINE FOR STAFF
Many of our staff members have taken advantage of vaccine appointments and will have received their first dose prior to April 5th.
BUS TRANSPORTATION
We would like to encourage as many families as possible to use our buses. The regulations for bussing were lifted on February 11th. Students will remain masked on the bus at all times and have assigned seats.
LUNCH
Students will continue to sit a least 6 feet apart in our cafeteria. We will be using the entire cafeteria and some of the gymnasium to make this happen.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
Students' desks will be spaced at least 3 feet apart. We will continue to remind students to give everyone around them space when traveling in the hallways as well.
SNACK/MASK BREAKS
Students will maintain at least 6 feet of distance from one another. Snack and mask breaks can be held outside as often as possible when the weather is good. For inclement weather days, we will provide a schedule for classes to have snacks in our other large spaces.
CLEANING/CUSTODIAL STAFF
We will continue to maintain cleaning procedures. Our custodians are working nonstop at least 6 days a week to keep our buildings clean and safe.
EXTENDED DAY
At this time we are not able to offer extended day. We will continue to revisit this as the year progresses.
