Off we go. It's a new brand new school year. For our new staff, please ask questions and ask for help. We have a staff that loves to help each other, great synergy. 

We have masks in the office for anybody who would like one. We have paper, cloth, and N95. We also have face shields. Please be mindful of social distancing, both staff and students. Think of lunch and the work room. We don't want anybody to get sick. What we learned last year, online learning is a challenge for all students. We want to stay open all year, every school day, with in person learning. Social distancing, washing hands frequently, and considering a mask are all options that can help so we don't have a repeat of last year. It was a year we would like to forget. 

We always have new students who arrive on the bus, never having been to our school. Please help children find the front office if they look lost, so we can assist with finding their classroom. 

The daily announcements with students leaders will continue to be via video this year. I shared the link with those I thought needed it. If you did not receive the link and would like it, please email me. We start today at 8:05. 

One of my favorite activities is reading in classrooms. I get to read and visit with every student. Teachers get to have a break. Win win.  Here is the schedule:

Book Reading in Classrooms

Please be patient with lunch. Everybody will be fed. Wait for somebody to come get classrooms. We are spreading out students like last year and practicing procedures. 

Please remind students to drink water. We still have very warm weather. Every child has a water bottle in their classroom. 

If you aren't sure how a student gets home, please check with the office. If any students need school supplies or a backpack, we can also help with that. 

Ask questions, spread kindness, remember to laugh, and have a great school year. Thought for today:
