7. Review Return to School Plan

• Informational
• Our return to school plan has been set to parents and is on our school webpage.
  • The morning outside line up and end of day dismissal has been fantastic. The kids are doing a great job.
  • There have been a few issues with the drop off zone. This is getting better each day. We will continue to remind families in the Bruin Bite.
  • Masks are required, kids have been really good about this. We do have extra paper masks available in the office.
  • We receive 2 cloth masks per student from the State those will be handed out tomorrow, September 3rd in their 2nd
  • Most concerning time is the cafeteria. We have moved to 3 lunches and have placed “Bear Paws” on the seats to spread the students out.
  • There was not a safe way to safely social distance while using lockers so we are allowing backpacks this year.
  • We were able to get a Chromebook out to every student.
  • Kids that get sick during the day will go to the Counseling Center,
    • The ladies will go through the symptom checker, if the student is exhibiting any of the symptoms they will be isolated in the sick room until a parent can pick them up. A letter with instructions and the school nurses contact info will be sent home with the student.
    • If they do not have “symptoms” they will then wait in our second “Sick” room until they can be picked up or are ok to go back to class.
  • Parent Teacher Conferences will be virtual in one form or another. Paula will be discussing the issue more with other principals at a middle school principal meeting this week.
  • On-Line learning families, thank you for your patience. It has been a challenging process. The district is working on the issues.
