As we welcome students back to campus for “In-Person” learning, we have adjusted our arrival and dismissal procedures to help with students' safety and limit contact tracing as much as possible. Students will have designated arrival and dismissal locations based on grade level. Families with multiple siblings will be dropped off at their specified location.

Please refer to the information as well as the new carpool map.

Carpool will flow from Angus to the back parking lot and then back to

Cumberland Rd. Please note the following arrival/dismissal locations per grade level. 

They are listed in the order of traffic flow:

• PreK, Kindergarten, 1 st Grade, ECSE (Library/Back Parking

Lot)

All Prek, Kindergarten and 1 st grade students will be dropped off and picked up in the back parking lot. Students will be directed to enter and check-in at the door by the library.

• 3rd Grade

All 3rd grade students will be dropped off and picked up at the west end of the bus lane. Students will be dropped off and directed to enter through the 3 rd grade hallway door, located next to the faculty parking lot.

• 2nd Grade

All 2nd grade students will be dropped off and picked up at the main entrance doors.

• 4th Grade, 5th Grade

All 4th and 5th grade students will be dropped off and picked up at the daycare lane, close to the corner of Cumberland and Stonedale. 5th Grade students will enter through the doors at the end of the 5th grade hallway. 4th Grade students will be directed to walk to the 4th grade hallway entrance from the interior parking lot. These are the doors located close to the girls’ restroom on the 4th grade hallway.

There will be a check-in table at every entrance location. Students will have their temperature checked before they are allowed to enter their classrooms. Parents are encouraged to complete a prescreening at home to check for fever. Students are considered to have a fever if their temperature is above 100 degrees.

In the event of inclement weather, all students in all grades will enter through the front of the school under the awning.

The Virtual Learning Support page is the go-to resource for students and parents. Whether you're getting started using a digital device or online application for the first time or need to learn more about how to use a resource, you'll find the support you need here. Our Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) were designed to give you clear, step-by-step directions for completing common tasks within various applications.  In addition to our QRGs, you will find helpful videos that walk you through the applications used for virtual learning.  On this page, we've compiled information and resources specifically for students and parents to help with common learning tools like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Seesaw, ClassLink, and much more. For students who have received a district-issued device, we have several resources available to help parents and students with technical issues. Our goal is to ensure that parents and students have the knowledge and technology skills needed for success during virtual learning.
