Dear Haysboro Families,

I hope this message finds you all well!

Switching Lunch Shifts: The end of January marks the half-way point of the school year and we will be making scheduling changes to our lunch shifts during our lunch period. We will be switching our lunch shifts. For example, the classes who played during the first shift (12:00 – 12:20 pm) and ate during the second shift (12:23 -12:43 pm) will – starting Tuesday February 1st – eat first shift and play second shift. We will support all students who stay for lunch with daily reminders of the changes in routine.

Safety Measures: The student masks and testing kits arrived at the school. Each student took home a testing kit and each student is offered a mask in the morning and after lunch. Our central ventilation remains the same. Teachers are keeping their classroom doors open as much as possible and opening their windows for short periods throughout the school day.

Spirit Day: The students in rooms 3 & 4 chose the spirit day for January 28 as “Backwards Day”. Several students from rooms 3 & 4 will be visiting all the classes to share their plans for backwards day early next week. Some of the information includes, the class schedule will be in reverse, write your name and date backwards for the day or wear you clothes backwards. We will remind everyone that we cannot walk or run backwards for safety reasons. We will also share that participation in spirit day is optional.
