Weller Families,
We are excited to get students back in the building on January 19th! Please see the details below about our Re-Start to In-Person Learning! Most of this is information you may already know but I thought it was good to re-send.
Parent Pickup Arrival/Dismissal - This will still occur in the back of the building like 2nd Quarter. As students arrive before 7:45am, they will head to the gym to wait in a socially distanced area. They will be dismissed from the gym by a staff member at 7:45am. For dismissal, students will wait in the gym in a socially distanced space and be called out as their ride arrives. We are asking all parents to have signs in their windows of their child's name to help speed up the dismissal process.
Recess Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for outdoor recess. We will go outside if the temperature is above 20 degrees (with the wind chill).
Breakfast Did you know? In addition to free lunch, all of our families are eligible to receive a free cold breakfast package from our food service, as our school participated in the statewide free lunch service provided last spring. We are going to provide a "take home" breakfast bag each day for our students who would like one. This service will continue the rest of the school year. This is totally optional. Students do NOT have to take one if they do not want to.
Voyager Voyager will be open in all Elementary buildings for K (pm) - 5th grade students on Tuesday, January 19th. If you were previously enrolled, there is nothing you need to do. You are still on the on the list. To protect the children and our staff, we will be following all the safety guidelines and protocols established by the District and the State of Ohio. If you would like to have your child(ren) join Voyager and have not registered them you must complete and return ( via email) the enrollment packet located on this Website www.centerville.k12.oh.us listed under "Students & Parents" . There is no Registration Fee. (No Voyager on Wednesdays) If you have questions, don't hesitate to call or email. We are all looking forward to having the children back with us in Voyager. See you soon.
Alternate Transportation Forms Bus Routes are available on Home Access Center! Please login and look under the registration tab to find your bus routes. As we get closer to the start of In-Person learning, bus routes may be updated. Please take a look!
District Safety Information and FAQ https://www.centerville.k12.oh.us/back-to-school-2020
Bus Arrival/Dismissal - Busses will still load and unload in the front of the building like in year's past. We will stagger loading and unloading to maximize social distancing. Daycare - Daycare riders will follow similar procedures as in year's past as long as the numbers are similar to what they were in the past. Recess - Students will get a recess. Classes will be out by grade level only and placed in zones around the playground. They will rotate zones daily/weekly to experience all parts of the playground. Lunch - Students will eat lunch in our cafeteria. Lunches will be spaced out so there is no overlap between grade levels. We are using our stage area in the cafeteria as well to help with spacing. There will be plastic/plexi-glass dividers that run long ways across the tables. We will also seat less students at each table to help with spacing. Students will have assigned seats and sit in the same seat each day. This will help with Contact Tracing. Classrooms - Teachers are working hard to make sure their classrooms are as spaced out as possible. We will do our best to keep students 6ft. apart while learning at their desk space. However, there are spaces in some of our classrooms where we cannot achieve 6ft. of distance. As mentioned, we will do the best we can. Restrooms - We will have a limit to the number of students in the restroom at a time. This will be clearly marked on the outside of the restroom. There will be markers on the floor for students to wait until it is their turn to use the restroom. Visitors - We will limit the number of visitors into the building for safety reasons. When possible, we can sign-in and sign-out students for appointments without parents coming into the building. We just ask parents to call the office when they arrive. We will have a staff member walk them out. *Unfortunately, we will not allow parents to eat with students at lunch during the second semester. Clinic - Our clinic will have a separate quarantine area for students showing Covid-19 symptoms. The space is connected to the clinic so students would have quick access to our nurses. Please make sure you read the attached flyer about pre-screening the students before coming to school.
