*If I have siblings who start school at different times, do I need to wait outside the gate with the younger sibling or can both students enter and then the younger students can wait inside the gate (kind of like we do know)?

• We would like to be able to do this, but we will have to see if we can manage this with double the amount of students entering the school now. If possible, please wait with your child until we get a good system down.

How should my child get to school? Must be with an ADULT

• Walking - preferred
• Car – No cars in the drop off zones!!! You can park in the neighborhood, but definitely not in the zone in front of the school during lunch time. Families already use the drop off zone to drive through to pick up lunches daily.

• Bicycle/Scooter- walk bikes and scooters once on the sidewalk approaching the entry gates

Where do I drop off and meet my child after school?

• Zones:
• Kinder – Meet at kinder gate by Meadows Avenue.
• Grades 3 & 4 – Meet at office gate by Meadows Avenue.
• Grades 1 & 2 – Meet at gate by upper playground by Rowell Avenue.
• Grade 5 – Meet at gate by science lab by Rowell Avenue.

Can I bring my siblings to just one entrance?

• Yes! Kinders must use kinder gate, though. Determine which drop off zone where you will meet with them and let their teachers know, since teachers walk students to the gates at the end of school. 

Before you leave your home:

• COVID Screening – Complete the health screening app (Ruvna) and bring your phone to be screened at school. If you forgot or left the screening at home, we can verbally screen students at the gate, but you may have to step aside if there is a crowd.
• Mask – Students will need to arrive with a well-fitting mask on and have an extra in his/her backpack.
• School Supplies – Bring supplies from home that will not be shared with any other students.
• Water bottle – Bring a full bottle of water in a reusable container.
