Back to School Information for Parents

This year all students will be put into cohorts (groups).

These groups cannot have more than 50 people.

Cohorts will need to be kept separated during the school day as much as possible. So one cohort will not play with another cohort while at school.

To make things easier for students to know their groups, I have given each group a color.  Teachers will be contacting you Sept 1-4 to let you know if your child is in their class and will also give you the cohort color if you are unsure.  Please help your child memorize this color.

Here are the cohorts and the colors:

Cohort 1=Miss Jeffery, Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Enman  (Yellow)

Cohort 2= Mrs. Arsenault and Mrs. Raynor (Green)

Cohort 3= Mr. Shaw and Mrs. Doran (Red)

Cohort 4= Miss MacKendrick and Mrs. Collicutt (Orange)

Cohort 5= Mrs. Rozell and Mr. Collins (Blue)

New: All students will be required to wear a mask on the bus.

No buses will be allowed to let students off until all busses have arrived.

Each bus will dismiss by color and one color at a time.

Yellow and Green will enter via the front entrance using the door on the left-hand side (Yellow and green stickers will be on it)

Red, Orange, and Blue will enter via the front entrance using the door on the right-hand side (Red, Orange, and Blue stickers will be on it)

Students  in Yellow, Green and Red will put outdoor boots on the boot rack and head directly to their classroom.

Students in Orange and Blue will take off their boots upon entering, place them on the rug by the gym and will then head directly to their class.

This can begin at 8:30 and will end at 8:50. Parents will enter the parking lot where staff park their cars. Students will then enter through their assigned door and proceed directly to their classroom. Parents remain in their vehicle. Never pass a parked bus when the lights are flashing!

If you are dropping off a student, you may escort them to the front door but please do not enter the school. This will help reduce the number of people coming into contact with students/staff in our school.

Hand sanitize and students will be encouraged to put on a non-medical mask before they go on the bus.

Students will be led out in a staggered manner by one Cohort at a time starting with Yellow, then Red, Orange, Green, then Blue.

Yellow will get on the bus at 2:45, Red at 2:47, Orange at 2:50, Green at 2:53 and Blue will get on the bus at 2:55 when the busses will depart.

This will only happen between 3:00 and 3:10 if parents are picking up at dismissal time to avoid congestion.

Students will wait in their classrooms and will exit through their cohort door at 3pm.

Teachers will lead students to the cohort door. Parents remain in vehicle.

Please call the school to inform us that you would like to pick up your child and what time you will be picking them up.

When you arrive at the school please call again and make your way to the front entrance but do not enter the school. Admin staff will walk your child to the front door to meet you.

Students will be brought up by color and allowed to go outside in a staggered manner.

Yellow will be in the lobby prepared to go outside at 10:25 and 11:50 respectively.

Green will be waiting in the hallway ready to get their boots as the bell rings.

Red will be ready in their classrooms prior to the bell. When the bell rings they will immediately make their way to the boot rack.

Orange And Blue can prepare to go outside once the bell rings. Orange And Blue will be called up when appropriate.

Once outside, each cohort will be given a specific area where they can play for that day. Students are not allowed to play in any other area on that day. Teachers will remind them of which area they are on before they go outside. There will be one adult assigned to each play area (in other words, there will be at least 5 adults outside everyday)!

Once the bell rings students will line up in their cohorts. Teachers will inform students of where they will need to line up each day. Students will be brought back into the school by color, place boots on rack and head immediately to class.

Home room teachers will meet students at front entrance until routines are established.

All visitors must proceed directly to the office to sign in.

Please note: if there is anyone else in the office, please do not enter until that person has left. This includes staff and students (if not your own).

We will not be giving out bus passes this year for birthday parties or to go to a friend’s house.

If you child goes to a babysitter on Tuesday and Thursday but goes home on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we do not consider this a bus pass. Please just send in a weekly schedule and we will work together to make sure your child get to the correct destination.

We will not be accepting calls for bus passes unless it is an emergency.
