Parents:
Thank you for continuing to support our school and for the hard work and patience it has taken from everyone to make this school year as successful as possible for our children.
We are bursting at the seams with excitement to announce that we are adding more children to a 4-day program.  Beginning Monday, March 15, all in-person KDG, 1st grade and 2nd grade children will attend a 4-day program.  We have made changes to bussing, our classrooms and other learning areas in the building and will be able to accommodate additional in-person students in KDG, 1st and 2nd grade.  We are beginning a phase-in process as requirements and recommendations change and as we are able to safely accommodate more children.  
This means that we will now have 4 days of school for our littlest learners, PreK-2.  At this time, the change is not available to fully remote K-2 students.  The option to return to in-person learning will be available at the end of the marking period, as it has been for previous quarters.  Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate siblings of our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders at this time, but we are working on grades 3-6 in another phase.  
Thank you to everyone who completed the transportation survey, it really assisted us with organizing busses.  We know that this is coming with very little notice, but we do not want to lose even 1 possible day of in-person learning.  K, 1, 2 parents: If you indicated that your child would require school transportation, that has already been shared with the Transportation Department so you do not need to take any further action.
If you have not done so, please download the PikMyKid app for your child's daily health screening and dismissal announcement system.  There are directions and a parent guide included with this letter.  The daily health screening is a very important tool in keeping our building as safe and healthy as possible.  If you pick your child up it is very important that you have your child’s car tag visible if you do not have the dismissal App.  Please help us move the dismissal line along as smoothly as possible by using the App or car tag.  If you need a new car tag, just call the school and request one.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.  We look forward to more smiling faces next Monday!
Thank you, Karri D. Schiavone and Timothy Artessa
