SCHOOL NURSE LETTER
Our new school nurse John Powell has written an introductory letter telling families about some policies and procedures specific to his position and it is a great way to familiarize yourself with some of the things that will be happening this year in regards to mitigation efforts of the COVID-19 virus and also general health processes.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR
Below are a couple of videos describing what students can expect when they are in the building this year and the other video will hopefully help clarify what it will look like when students are at home virtually. This is an ever changing situation and we are basing our decisions on the recommendations of the DHS, DPI and our County Health Department. I'm not saying that my acting in the video about procedures is great but the performances of the other staff members that helped me out are outstanding!

2. What does the process look like when students are at home learning virtually. video
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
1. Middle School students will head down to the middle school wing when they arrive at school on the first day. Their homeroom teachers will be posted on the front entrance, in skyward and in the middle school wing. They will retrieve their schedule from their homeroom teacher and proceed to their locker and then to their first class on their schedule.
2. High School students will be given their schedules upon arrival in the front of the school and then they should head to their locker and then to their first class of the day. We want to minimize as much as we can any gathering of students in the hallways or common areas.
3. All students will receive their Chromebooks on the first day and will also see a short presentation from our school nurse.
