Hello SES Community -What a great first day of hybrid! It was so wonderful seeing kindergarteners and first graders today! We can’t wait to see our 2nd - 5th graders on Monday. Thank you, families, for all your support and understanding as we transition into this new school schedule.
Just some reminders which were included in the email sent earlier this week:
Drop off/Pick Up times/locations and protocol: Because we are a small building and want to keep everyone safe and socially distanced, our start times are staggered by 15 minute intervals. Teachers’ class times are: 9:00 - 11:15, 9:15 - 11:30 or 9:30 - 11:45. You will see on the attached maps your student’s teacher start time and where to drop-off AND pick-up your student. There are 2 locations: either the front of the building on SE Salmon, or on the blacktop at the back of the school.You may arrive within 5 minutes of your student’s start time. These “staging” areas are for more than one class, but only spaced 15 minutes apart. We want to keep the areas relatively uncrowded and safe. In short - please arrive as close to your start time as possible
Hybrid in-person learning takes place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (no Wednesdays).
K-5 teachers have sent individual class emails about what to bring and expect.
Middle School Families - we are preparing for middle school hybrid learning next. If you have not taken this survey already letting us know your preference, please do so as soon as possible.
Thank you for everything, Sunnyside Community.
We are grateful for you!
