Sunday, Oct. 18

 It must be Sunday again! Time for the blog.

At the beginning of the year, our staff chose a hashtag that represented their own personal motto. One of mine was #usepencil because everything we do, or try to do, changes-- In 2020, anyway. As soon as we think we know what to expect and think we have things planned, there is an 180 degree shift. So, I suggest using pencil! What would be your hashtag for this year? 

Regardless, I think the best thing we all can do right now is take small steps and keep moving forward. And, to focus on what we can control. 

On Thursday, our school board voted on a plan for coming back to school in November. The good news is, our county is in a place where coming back to school 5 days is an option. As I am sure you know, the outcome of the meeting is that we will be coming back to school 5 days a week for 5 hours a day.  (3 hours a day for kindergarten) We are beyond excited to have students back in their classrooms! That being said, the only way we will be able to keep the students in their seats is by creating and following very thoughtful sanitizing and hand washing procedures. We will be sharing videos of what those procedures will look like in the next couple weeks. 

Please see this most recent update from the district here:

Please notice that in #3 it says you will need to fill out an intradistrict transfer form if you would like to change your original program selection. You have until Monday, 10/19, at midnight to submit the form. 

The form is here: Intradistrict Transfer

Here are some details that will be shared soon:

1) The week of Oct. 26th, we will share teacher information and our daily schedule. 

2) Videos about the daily expectations when we return.

3) A school supply list of what you can get for your student's return to the classroom. They will have a set of things in the classroom and a set of things at home. 

As always, please reach out with questions!
