Welcome!
I am excited to welcome you all to the 2021-2022 school year! We are energized to provide a holistic approach to learning and to provide hands-on learning experiences for our students. Our staff is eager to provide a warm, safe environment that fosters each child’s curiosity and passion!
With the current realities of the pandemic, we are prepared for another year in which we model flexibility and perseverance. The district has posted a detailed Opening Plan for 2021-2022 on the CUSD website. As mentioned in the prior announcement, we have returned to the original bell schedule. We are no longer required to have staggered start and end times. Below are a few updates on the expectations for the Fall. Please be mindful that, like last year, logistics may change due to county and district guidelines.
Morning Drop Off
-Parents are allowed to walk their children to their classroom.
-Parents must wear masks to enter the campus.
-Parents will remain outside of the classroom.
-All parents are kindly asked to leave the campus within 10 minutes from entering.
-Parents are still encouraged to park at Nordahl Hall and walk to campus.
Masks
-Students will wear masks while indoors, unless exempt.
-Masks are optional for students while outdoors (We will not require masks to be worn during morning recess and lunch).
-We recommend sending your child with an extra mask in their backpack.
Social Distancing
-We no longer have social distancing requirements.
-Classrooms: This means seating arrangements are determined by teachers.
-Recess: We will have common morning recess and a common lunch recess for all grade levels.
Snacks
-Each family will provide their own child’s snack.
-Refillable water bottles are encouraged.
I am sure that you have more questions, we will continue to communicate as we finalize the details. I will host an optional Zoom meeting on Tuesday, August 17 at 9:00 am for questions and answers. More details to follow. Until then, I hope you are enjoying the last days of summer to the fullest!
