Entering School Each Morning--Please review with your child!

Families,

In the past, all students coming off the bus would enter through one door, and all students getting dropped off would enter through the security entrance. This year, in order to remain socially distanced, we are going to be using multiple entrances. Below is the entering the building procedures in three easy steps. We respectfully request that you review this new procedure, and perhaps drive by and find the appropriate numbered entrance, with your child prior to the start of the year.   

Step 1: 

Get off the bus OR get dropped off and walk to the front of the building where staff will be waiting with signs for doors. Find the door that is numbered based on which class you are in.

• C. Jones, B. Jones, Tracey, Gibbs, Yensan, Lippincott=door # 20
• Firkins, Dibattisto, Francesca, Moore= door # 21
• Elias, PJ, Langswager, Velyk, Monfiletto, Pierri= door #23
• Carpenter, Butlin, Booth, Duffy, Stanford, Strecker=door #24
• UPK communicated from teacher

 

Those dropped off by parents should walk to the front of the building and enter through front entrances, however, if it is raining those who were dropped off may go through the security entrance in order to avoid a longer walk.

 

Students should be dropped off for school at 8:40. They will not be able to wait in the building, so please do your best to stick to this time.

 

 

 

 

Step 2: 

Student arrives at their numbered door and shows their Assurance Card (provided by the district), so please have this on a lanyard, attached to their bag, or in an easy spot for your child (and where they will not lose it). If your child does not have it, a staff member will take their temperature before they enter. 

 

Step 3: 

Students go directly to class where they will sanitize or wash their hands. The teacher will then send them to their lockers/cubbies a couple at a time, and breakfast/lunch will be ordered for those getting a school meal.  

 

Prior to the start, it would be awesome if each parent showed their child which door is which, pointing to the numbers in the front of the school. A quick drive by to the bus loop, where you get out and show them where they would walk to, will go a long way. This would help avoid confusion on the first day.

Each door will have a staff member at it, and staff will also be holding up signs to help students learn this new process. In addition, we will have staff outside, ensuring that students are walking to the doors in a socially distanced way.

 

Thank you,

Derek Warren
