Dear Parents/Guardians:

There is an all call going out tonight, 3/1/22.  Here is the information going out:

  1. Please refrain from using the staff parking lot.  It is unsafe to have parents using the lot for drop off and pick up.

  2. As the weather is getting warmer, I am just reminding everyone that we ask to not have pets at arrival or dismissal times.  We do have students that are either allergic or scared of animals.  Please keep your pets across the street if you feel you need to bring them with you.

  3. For Read Across America week, tomorrow is wacky Wednesday. Wear your wackiest outfit.

  4. Finally, reminder that Friday is a short session day dismissal is 12:30 for PK and 12:40 for K-5.

Thank you,
Sean Dunphy

SPANISH VERSION:

Estimados padres/tutores:


Hay una convocatoria general esta noche, 3/1/22. Aquí está la información que se publica:


  1. Por favor, absténgase de usar el estacionamiento del personal. No es seguro que los padres usen el lote para dejar y recoger a los niños.

  2. A medida que el clima se vuelve más cálido, solo les recuerdo a todos que pedimos no tener mascotas a la hora de llegada o salida. Tenemos estudiantes que son alérgicos o tienen miedo a los animales. Mantenga a sus mascotas al otro lado de la calle si siente que necesita traerlas con usted.

  3. Para la semana de Read Across America, mañana es miércoles loco. Usa tu atuendo más loco.

  4. Finalmente, un recordatorio de que el viernes es un día de sesión corta y la salida es a las 12:30 para PK y a las 12:40 para K-5.

Gracias,

Sean Dunphy

Estimados padres / guardián:


Primero que todo ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Espero que todos hayan tenido unas vacaciones de invierno seguras y saludables. Como hemos visto en las últimas dos semanas, ha habido un aumento en los casos de Covid. Debido a estos sucesos, estamos instituyendo algunos cambios en la escuela primaria. Por favor lea abajo:


  • Aumentaremos el espacio entre los estudiantes durante nuestras sesiones de almuerzo.

  • Requerimos que nuestros estudiantes usen sus máscaras durante el recreo, tanto adentro como afuera.

  • There may be a slight change in lunch times due to spacing.


Por favor asegúrese de que sus estudiantes estén usando mascarillas adecuadas. Esto es imperativo para que nuestros estudiantes y el personal permanezcan seguros y continúen la instrucción en persona. Gracias por leer esta carta y hacer que sus hijos se adhieran a los cambios anteriores.


¡Nos vemos el lunes 10 de enero!


Atentamente,

Dear Parents/Guardians:


First of all, Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a safe and healthy winter break.  As we have seen in the past two weeks there has been a rise in Covid cases.  Due to these occurrences we are instituting a few changes at the elementary school.  Please read below:


  • We will increase spacing between students during our lunch sessions.

  • We will be requiring our students to wear their masks at recess, both indoor and outdoor.

  • There may be a slight change in lunch times due to spacing.


Please make sure your students are wearing appropriate fitting facemasks.  This is imperative in order for our students and staff to remain safe and continue in person instruction.  Thank you in advance for reading this letter and having your children adhere to the changes above.


See you on Monday, January 3!


Sincerely,

Sean Dunphy
