School starts at 8:35am and ends at 3:15pm. 

K-2 students attend Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

3-5 Students attend either Monday and Tuesday (AA) or Thursday and Friday (BB)

From the bus: Students will remain on their bus until they are dismissed by a staff member. Those who have their blue attestation slips will go directly to the cafeteria for breakfast or to their classroom. Students who do not have a completed health attestation will be screened by a staff member before they can enter the building.  

From drop-off: The building will open for students at 8:20 each morning. Students may not be dropped off before this time. A staff member will meet students at their car and either collect their health attestation or do a health screening to clear them to go to breakfast or their classroom. 

Breakfast is served on in-person days beginning at 8:20am. Students will eat breakfast in the cafeteria. They will go through the line, using the floor markings to maintain social distancing, to pick up their pre-packaged breakfast and their milk. They will sit at tables, which will be spread out throughout the cafeteria, at least six feet apart from each other

Students should bring a completed Health Attestation, their backpack, a waterbottle, and their lunch (if bringing one from home). 

In preparation for returning students to the classroom safely, the air filtration system of each classroom and common area of the school were upgraded. Maximum capacity of each room was also calculated based on CDC recommendations and will be strictly adhered to.   

All desks will be arranged to maintain the required 6 feet of social distancing and to ensure that all students are facing in the same direction. When students are working in small groups, teachers will assign specific spots for them, ensuring that social distancing is maintained at all times.  

Student supplies will be kept in the classroom in individual boxes and will not be shared.  If manipulatives are used within the classroom, they will not be shared amongst students. Each student will have their own. Books and other paper-based materials are not considered to be high risk for spreading the virus and will still be available for students in the classroom. 

We will limit our class sizes to 15-16 students per classroom in order to maintain social distance. 

All water fountains in our building will be shut off. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle from home and will be allowed to fill them up from our faucets. Large water jugs will be placed in all of our portable classrooms. 

Teachers will monitor sending one student to the restroom at a time from their room. A spot will be marked on the floor for students to wait 6 feet apart if all the stalls are in use. Students are asked to wash their hands when they finish using the restroom and to use hand-sanitizer when they re-enter the classroom.  

Students will eat lunch at their desk in their classrooms under the supervision of their teacher. Students will wash their hands before eating. School lunches will be delivered to the classroom for each student who requested one that morning. Large garbage cans will be positioned outside the classroom for students to dispose of their trash. 

Individual plans will be created for students who have food allergies under the direction of the school nurse. 

Students will have two recesses each day – a 30 minute recess after lunch and a 15 minute recess at another time during the day. Our playground will be split into three separate sections and two classes will be allowed to play within each section. There will be a separate staff member supervising each location. Students will line up after recess at designated spots and classes will enter the building through different doors and on a staggered schedule in order to maintain social distancing. Students will sanitize their hands as the re-enter the classroom. 

Students being dropped off or picked up during the school day will need to be signed in and out in the office. Please make sure to wear a face mask when entering the building. Students will be called from class when they are signed out. 

For the safety of all members of our learning community, masks must be worn while at school.  

We understand that masks are new for students and this will be an adjustment for them. To that end, we will work with students to help them understand the importance of wearing masks, give them reminders to keep them on, and offer breaks in which they will be allowed to take them off. If not wearing a mask becomes an ongoing problem for a student, we will follow the same procedures that we do with other health and safety concerns in the classroom. Steps could include phone calls home, conversations between the student and the counselor or building administrator, and/or having the student move to a different location. If the problem persists, disciplinary consequences could be considered. 

If a student starts to feel sick or if a teacher notices that a student shows symptoms of Covid during the course of the school day, the teacher will contact the nurse. The nurse will escort the student out of the classroom and evaluate them for symptoms. If the nurse deems it necessary, the student will be moved into the quarantine room. Parents will be notified and asked to come pick up their child immediately. The quarantine room is a place for the student to rest while they wait for their parent. Ours is located in the main office and direct adult supervision is provided. 

Pick-up: Students who are being picked up will wait in socially distanced lines in the multi-purpose room. Parents/families will wait in their car in the pick-up line. When they reach the staff member at the front of the line, they will confirm which student is being picked up and that the adult picking them up is on the approved list.  Please note that picture ID may be required in order for us to release students. Once that information is confirmed, the staff member will radio to staff in the multi-purpose room and students will exit the building. 

Bus riders: Students will go directly from their classrooms onto buses whenever possible. If buses aren’t available when students are dismissed, they will wait in their socially distanced lines until they board their bus. Again, students will sit in their assigned seats and social distancing will be enforced. Masks will be worn by all students as well as the driver. 

Drivers will keep students as far apart as possible while riding on the bus. Students from the same household will be allowed to sit together on the bus. The driver and all students will wear masks.
