Our selfie game may not be our strongest game but we wanted to let you know that all these faces were so excited to see student faces today!
Good afternoon! We won’t share too many photos until we’ve waited a bit and given families a chance to opt out of photos, but here is one that we have student and parent permission for! So far so good. Thank you to all our students, families and staff for the teamwork and patience this morning. Just a gentle reminder to show up at your time for dismissal as early arrivals could clog things up and slow down the process.
For day 1, we will have health check forms for screenings at school building doors and on busses with bus monitors. On day 1, your student should come home with a blue piece of card-stock that allows you to complete health checks prior to arrival and just show us the card at school. This piece of card-stock has enough room for health checks for a full month. So we will look at it and return it to caregiver/student for the next day. No need to panic if lost or forgotten, we will always have extras. If arriving by car out back, we will come to the car and do the screening before the student gets out of the vehicle. Having the students on the school side of the car will make this easiest and safest. Please let your children know the adults doing screenings will have masks and face shields and gloves, precautions to keep all as safe as possible! Lastly, a gentle reminder to all adults to wear masks also at these times and maintain distancing while waiting. Continued appreciation of all your support!!
Here is a reminder of the arrival and departure schedule. Departure may be one of the trickiest parts of the day. We ask that you arrive as close to the time assigned as you can. Showing up early, especially at departure for pick ups could jam up busses out back. We hope this will run smoothly! If there are hiccups, it’s okay. We will get better as we practice!
Happy Labor Day weekend to all! We are so excited to see students tomorrow! We continue to ask you for your patience as we get through the first week. We’ve reimagined our systems to meet health and safety guidelines. Once we see these systems in action, we may need to make slight changes to ensure that all runs as smooth as possible. We will communicate updates! There is no problem we can’t solve together as a community. Thank you!
Personal Protective Equipment training for all of our health check screeners! Thank you FHGS nurses. We will be ready for Tuesday!
Congratulations to all of our exceptional Slate Valley Staff!
