Dear Parent Guardian

Just some quick notes to help us all transition safely to in-school learning – Please read the Parent Handbook for more in-depth details. Parent/Caregiver Guide

· develop a pick up plan if your child is ill – they will be isolated until you arrive

· promote wearing a mask at home to get accustomed to it

· label all of your child’s personal belongings and their mask

. please do NOT send scented hand sanitizer (as there are scent sensitivities in the school)

· teach them what social distancing looks like – no hugs, no sharing items

· schedule time in the morning before school to do the Covid-19 assessment Covid-19 Screening

· be prepared to wait for your child in the parking lot if picking up for appointments and build in extra time, you must call from parking lot

· parents are not permitted in the building and we are discouraging the drop off of items during the day – Please send your child with everything they need for the day

· dress your child for the weather as we stagger the entry into the building each morning. They will be outside, so if it’s raining they need a rain coat/umbrella

· practice hand washing at home, sing happy birthday twice while washing hands

· what does lining up look like – practice at home

· windows will be open in every room possible to allow fresh air in, so dress in layers for classroom

· no school hot lunch programs for time-being

· please do not send toys/balls, etc. from home
