Thank you for your patience on Friday as we added materials drop off to our food bus runs! Here are a few updates for the week:

*We’ll continue the morning meal runs each day.

*Grab and Go Meals starts TODAY at Lotus, daily from 8-10AM for any family that cannot use the bus stop. An early morning option will be added for next week!

*Teachers will let families know if there are/are not materials to pick up each week.

*Materials will be organized in alphabetical order by route so they may be picked up quickly at any stop along the route.

*Materials not picked up on the route can be picked up the same day from 9-10 at Lotus OR at Grab and Go from 8-10 daily at Lotus.

*Any family who cannot get materials at either of those times should come to the Lotus office and we will assist them--the unclaimed materials will stay down by the Events Entrance alpha by bus for easy grab and go.

Your suggestions and feedback are always welcome--we want to make this all as helpful to families as possible!!!

Here’s another community resource to check out!

Attendance

If your child will be absent (meaning unable to do remote learning due to illness or another family reason, we need you to call them in as absent just as you normally would.

Materials

Please use materials as directed. I know they are tempting to open up and use right away, but we have a plan for everything. Please hold off on using until your teacher asks you to.

PreK

Monday, August 31--First Day of School for PreK

Starting Monday, August 24, we will deliver meals (breakfast and lunch) daily using bus stops and Lotus stop times. On Fridays, these routes will also deliver materials from teachers if they are needed for each grade level. I'll be sending a daily email reminder with the stop schedule and any other "just in time" news you need. This will replace the Daily Family Update that I did in the spring. The goal is to continue to keep our families informed and connected as well as to provide meals so that is one less thing you have to worry about!

Here's the schedule, but it's also attached to the email that linked you to this blog.

Here's info on another community resource for anyone who needs assistance:

Attendance

If your child will be absent (meaning unable to do remote learning due to illness or another family reason, we need you to call them in as absent just as you normally would.

Please also be sure to check FAST FACTS FOR REMOTE LEARNING. It will be a living document to add to as we get clearer on details and revise as/when we need to. There's information on school hours, sample student schedules, information on supply lists and MORE. Please review and let me know if you have suggestions for additions or if you have questions.

CAMP DUNCAN PROGRAM DETAILS
Unfortunately, we did not get enough sign ups to make the Innovation Learning program a "go". The Camp Duncan program IS A GO and the sign up information is here in case you need it!

We're now over 95% registered! Fabulous!!!

We ran the full system residency check last week. If you did not receive a teacher placement/schedule, it was held due to a registration/residency issue. If you are not registered, your final enrollment and class assignment will be delayed so we can confirm residency.
