Staggered Entry
We are beginning our school year by limiting the number of students entering the school over the first two days. The purpose of the plan is:
- To welcome our students back and provide valuable time for relationship building in their classroom,
- To ease the transition of all students into school,
- To spend time with smaller groups familiarizing them with our health measures,
- To facilitate physical distancing while teaching the protocols of our health measures,
- To discuss the importance of wearing masks and proper hygiene and provide a mask for any students without one.
Staggered entry days are full days for Grades 1-4. Kindergarten will still attend half days. On Thursday September 3, regular attendance will resume for all students.
Teachers will be contacting you on Friday, Aug. 28 welcoming your children and providing you with information about who is in Group A and who is in Group B.
DATE and TIME | Grade | Grouping |
Tuesday, September 1 8:30-3:10 | Grade 1-4 | Group A |
Tuesday, September 1 8:30- 10:55 | Kindergarten class | Group A |
Wednesday, September 2 8:30-3:10 | Grade 1-4 | Group B |
Wednesday, September 2 8:30-10:55 | Kindergarten class | Group B |
Thursday and Friday, September 3 + 4 | All grades | Regular attendance |
We are limiting the number of adults in the building so we are asking you to:
- Teach and model for your child, social distancing outside on the compound
- Let your child know that parents and caregivers cannot come into the school
- Plan to meet your child at a set meeting location away from the door at the end of the day
- At a safe and healthy distance, please say goodbye to your children and let them line up in their classroom cohort identified on the field
- Ring the buzzer at the front door if you need to drop off medication or have an emergency and support staff will help with your requests
Teachers will be contacting all families on Friday of this week to let you know if you are in Group A or Group B. Careful consideration of families with siblings has occurred.
We look forward to seeing all our students next week!
