Inclement weather:
*Please keep in mind this is a Post-COVID school year and there are different procedures to enter the building.
- COVID Screenings must be checked before children enter the building. Screening MUST be done by 7:15 am.
- Make sure if it is raining, children have rain gear on as they wait outside to enter the building and we check to see COVID screenings have been completed.
- If it is cold, make sure children are wearing warm attire so they are not cold while we make sure their screening has been completed
- Children are considered late after 8 am.
- When waiting outside to either pick up your child or drop your child off, please wait in an organized line socially distant outside. The goal is to make sure we are setting positive examples for our children and acknowledging how important it is to stand patiently and socially distant when we are waiting our turn to enter the building.
