Although we could not see the smiles behind many people's masks, it was evident in their eyes and the level of excitement. Children and staff were excited to be back on campus. What memorable and historic reopening days they have been! It has raised our spirits and has brought a lot of joy to all of us. Teachers and staff members are SO thrilled to have the children back in their classrooms!

A huge shout out to everyone because this would not be possible without everyone's cooperation. Students have been doing a great job with wearing masks, following safety protocols, and following all playground rules. The teachers did an amazing job prepping them prior to arrival and reinforcing all these necessary changes, not to mention all the planning to ensure students both at home and on campus continue their learning. Parents also need a huge shout out. Thank you for making sure students are ready to be at school. We appreciate your efforts to ensure that students are dropped off and picked up at their assigned time and gates. We truly appreciate you, too!!!

We are so excited that after one year we can safely reopen our campus for students to attend school in person. K-2 and all SDC classes return on March 22nd and 3rd-5th grade classes on March 29th. Please take the time to review the attached To Do document PRIOR to returning to school in person. It is a summary of what has already been shared in the parent handbook, but with the focus of the first day back.

We cannot even begin to stress the importance of being on time and following the gate assignments. These procedures have been put in place to ensure everyone's safety. Please take the time prior to the first day to show your child which gate they will need to go through. We have included maps to help. Also, please remember that parents will not be permitted on campus. We assure you that between you preparing your child and the procedures we have put in place all our kiddos will make it safely into their classrooms. 

We continue to teach the 12 tools using the TOOLBOX curriculum. These tools  enable us to provide the common language, strategies and practices to strengthen our students cognitive/academic functions and the physical, emotional and social development needed. 

The last few weeks, our teachers have been focusing on “Using our Words” tool. This tool focuses on words and their power–finding the right words, and then using them in the right way, at the right time, and for the right reasons. In order to have healthy relationships, we must be able to express our own thoughts and feelings, and be willing to invite others to do the same. Feel free to view the grades K-3 and/or 4-6 parent letters, that also provides a home activity.
