I am sure you have many questions about back to school procedures as well as classroom supplies for this year. In terms of supplies, your child will need to bring their own pencils, crayons, colored pencils, pens, composition notebooks or spiral notebooks, four separate folders (one for each subject), lined paper, and pencil sharpener. The school will provide chromebooks while at school for all online assignments. Just a reminder, students will be advised not to share supplies this year. If possible, please send your student with a personal hand sanitizer and personal tissues. Whatever you send will need to be individually sized because students should not be sharing supplies. Any extra cleaning supplies, such as hand sanitizer or Clorox wipes, you are willing to donate to help keep our classroom clean will also be happily accepted. Students may also bring their own water bottles, but will not be able to refill often. We recommend bringing a full bottle at the start of the school day.

Health and Safety Procedures Within the Classroom:

All students must wear a mask at all times, unless it is during a designated mask break outside.

All students must maintain three to six feet to ensure we are social distancing. All students and personnel on campus will maintain social distancing when traveling through hallways and various places in the building.

The school recently sent out a DRAFT 2021-2022 Return to School Plan. Please read through this to get more information about procedures that will be followed during the school day.

Many of our lessons will have some form of online component, and these components will be accessible through Google Classroom. We will be showing students how to access these assignments and lesson materials.
