Face to Face students have a chrome book and charger to use it during the instructional day.

Lunch: There will be no outside food deliveries allowed. Students should bring their lunch to school with them each day in the morning or plan to eat their meal from the school cafeteria.
The school will open at 7:30am. If the student develops a fever during school hours, our nurse will call you to pick him/her up within 30 minutes.
K-2nd-grade students who arrive before 7:50 will sit quietly in the cafeteria and wait for their classroom teachers.
3rd-5th grade students who arrive before 7:50 will wait for their classroom teachers in the gym.
Face Masks: Please help your child to practice wearing his/her mask for a long period of time. While in school, students must wear masks at all times except at lunch and during recess. Facemasks should not have any logo or advertisement, and should only have school appropriate designs.
Recess: Students will have structured recess time as they will not be allowed to use the playground due to sanitation concerns. Students will not be allowed to play any contact games that require touching a ball such as soccer, football, basketball.

All students will dismiss from inside the building so please be patient and wait in your car. Don't forget to display the pick up card in your windshield by the driver side. For more information about our procedures please refer to our back to school letter that was mailed this week to your homes: Back to school letter English & Back to school letter Spanish, standardized dress code.
