Parents/Guardians Looking to enter the school will need to wait until after all students have been screened and admitted to the building. Parents and guardians must make an appointment ahead of time with a specific staff member before coming to school. Email, phone calls and video conferencing is preferred over in person meetings. The school will accommodate in person requests if absolutely necessary, but will do so by appointment only. If a parent or guardian is simply dropping something off for a student they can do so between 9am and 2pm, but they will be asked to leave it in the foyer and will not be allowed into the building. If the item being dropped off is medication a staff member will come to the foyer to receive it.

Once students have reached the large sidewalk in front of the school they will need to stand on one of the blue or yellow dots (dots are 6’ apart for social distancing).
Students will stand on the dots until it is time to enter the building. The school is asking that parents drop off no earlier than 7:40 and that walkers time their arrival to be at campus no earlier than 7:45.
Screening and entry to the building will begin at 7:45 for all elementary (K-5) students and at 7:45 for MSHS (6-12) students eating school breakfast. MSHS (6-12) students not eating breakfast will be require to stand outside on one of the dots until 8am.
Students that enter in the morning for breakfast will be required to remain inside. They cannot enter for breakfast and then come back out to stand with friends or siblings.
Screening will be done through three different lines all located near the main entrance.
1. Students that have a signed note from a parent stating the have been screened and do not have a temperature over 100.0 degrees will enter by giving the note to school staff at one desk.
2. Students whose parent screening them at home and entered online that the student does not have a temperature over 100.0 degrees will enter by telling school school staff, “my parent screened me online”.
3. Students that have Not been screened at home degrees will be screened at a separate desk and enter through a separate door near the main entrance.
The school is asking that parents make every effort to screen their children before sending or bringing them to campus.
Our ability to reopen school safely and ability to remain open is truly dependent on parent cooperation with home screening.
