This is SAFETY WEEK! Since we have so many students back on site, it's time to practice all our safety procedures to make sure everyone is clear on what happens in case of emergency. We have them scheduled to have as little impact on instructional time as possible, and we are SO grateful to our local safety agencies for partnering with us!

Calling New Kindergartners!!!!

Student Absences
1. When a family calls/emails to report a student absent due to illness, it is expected that the nurses follow up to get more information as needed to determine if any COVID procedures need to be put in place. This information needs to be shared with principals and me ASAP so we can then make plans and inform all applicable staff.
2. If a student is sick but NOT due to COVID or a potential COVID symptom, they are recorded as absent. Students in this situation do NOT get to access remote. Rather, they are sick and--just like in "normal" times--need to stay home to get well so they can return to school.
3. If a student is staying home by our decision due to COVID procedures, we let them know that students should join remote learning ASAP. However, this may take up to 24 hours for teachers/rosters to be adjusted. It is far more difficult to change from in person to remote in grades K-3 than 4-8, and teachers need more time to adjust for the shift.
4. Students may NOT "flex" to remote. In person students are expected to report in person to be counted in a day's attendance UNLESS we clear them to work remotely due to COVID procedures. If a student is absent from in person without an approved reason, they should be marked UNEXCUSED.
5. If a student we expect to be in person tries to join a class remotely, we will do our best to accommodate them, but staff has been directed to let the office know of the student joining. We will follow up since the student is expected to be at school if healthy or home recovering if ill.
