Hello Again! Welcome Back to the Second Week of School!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to getting your child on Zoom last week. It was fun seeing the students and trying to learn their names and faces. Not the way we planned, but it did work out. God must be testing us. I think we put on a great show for Him. 

I am still learning names and faces, so please continue to be patient with me. It is hard to meet people now that we are wearing masks. I will need your help and you may have to continue to introduce yourself(daily) and tell me who your child is. Thanks for your help and patience.

For Monday, please have everything packed so that your child can carry their own belongings into the building. Put all school supplies into the backpack. Please remember to label all your child's school supplies, folders, notebooks, crayon and marker boxes etc. Lunch boxes should be carried. All the cleaning supplies, please put in a separate bag for your child to carry. If it is too heavy for your child, bring some on Monday and the rest Tuesday. Students need to carry these bags/items themselves. Usually we have "big kids" carry up the bags but it will not work with our staggered start. Parents are not allowed to carry bags into the school either.

******Just Another Reminder*******
Parents/Visitors are not allowed in the building. If you have any business with the school, you will need to call the school office to speak to the secretary.

Please remember the policies regarding arrival and dismissal stated below. It is important for parents not to linger and keep moving in order for the staggered schedule to work. We will need to make room for the next group to arrive or dismiss. Please leave the school yard promptly. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Arrival Procedure
1. Students and parents will wait on the colored circles.
2. Teachers will take children's temperatures, and parents will then, hand sanitize the students hands. Remember to put the bottle of hand sanitizer in the child's backpack. Parents will then need to leave the school yard. 
3. Students will stand and wait on the green circle until all temperatures are taken and we will proceed into the building on time. Sorry, we cannot wait, as we need to make room for the next group.

Reminder and a thank you: Parents must wait until the child's temperature has been taken.

Students may not run and play around in the school yard at arrival and dismissal. They will need to stand on their circles so that we can keep this staggered arrival/dismissal moving. Thanks.

Dismissal Procedures
1. Students will exit the building and once the whole class gets outside, I will ask the students to look around for the person who is picking them up. 
2. Students will be asked to raise their hand and wait, so that I can see and match up students and adults. Again, it may take me some time to learn who goes with which adult. Thank you for your patience. 
3. Please wait before taking your child. Please do not just take your child out of the line.
4. Please email me if someone other than yourself is picking up your child.
Thank you.

Students will be dismissed close to the playground area. Please be waiting for your child so that you can leave the playground promptly. Again, please do not linger as we need to make room for the next group to be dismissed.Thank you for doing your part.

I am still waiting for the gym schdule to be announced. When I get the schedule I will post it under the Specials Schedule Tab. Also, be sure to check out the other Tabs under my name. If you are learning remotely, you should become familiar with the Online Learning Tab. Really, I highly suggest everyone should become familiar with this Tab just in case we will need to go remote again.

Everyone must wear a mask when entering the school yard.Thank you in advance for taking responsiblility in practicing social distancing and keeping our Cheverus community safe.

Looking forward to meeting you, over time, in the school yard.
Have a great week!

Week of Septemeber 14, 2020

I hope that you all are healthy and had a great summer vacation! It was nice to meet you on Zoom. I am looking forward to meeting you in person.

School begins on Monday, September 14th. Remote and Hybrid learners should log onto Zoom according to the times sent in your email.

Gym Schedule
As soon as I receive a gym schedule, I will post those days on this page under the Special Schedule Tab. You will need to ask your child what their room number is, so that you can follow the correct schedule. I am guessing gym will probably start next week. 

Please remember to have your child wear their masks properly and have an extra in their backpacks. A small individual bottle of hand sanitizer should be carried in their backpacks as well. Thank you.

Please have your child bring a small healthy snack to eat. Also pack a small bottle of water to have on hand throughout the day. We can not use the water fountains/bubblers at school.

Lunch will be in the classrooms not in the cafeteria. Lunches need to be pre-ordered. If you do not place your monthly order, then you will need to pack a lunch for your child each day. The lunch order form is due September 14th by the end of dismissal. If you have any questions about lunch you can email Mrs. Martens, her email is cafe@cheverusschool.com

Staggered Arrival and Dismissal Times
School arrival time for first grade is 7:30-7:45 and school dismissal is 2:00. We will meet in the area towards the playground. At arrival, all parents need to wait with their child, until their temperature is taken. Please then, sanitize their hands.

At 2:00 it is important for you to be waiting for your child. There will be other classes in the school that will be dismissing right after us in 5 minutes time and the playground needs to be almost clear to keep up with the staggered times and social distancing procedures.Thank you for your help in this matter.

Reminder: There is no Extended Day Program.

Please remember and thank you for socially distancing the best you can.

Have a wonderful week!
