This new school year is very different from any other year that I can remember as a principal. I will continue to keep you and your families informed and in our prayers. Here is some updated information for the first day of school.
Back To School Night
Many parents are asking about a Back to School Night. The Back to School Night will be Virtual this year. Teachers will email you today the time and date for your child’s Back to School Night. If you do not get an email today, please let me know so we can be sure you are on the class list. Back to School Night is on September 1st and 2nd. Please see teachers’ email for your class time.
Website
Check out our new website. Lots of great information there. https://sfdslg.org/school/
Drop Off and Pick Up
Parents will not be able to enter the school building on Monday. Pre-K and Kindergarten Parents may walk their children into the gym area after 8:10 and before 8:30. You may not stay. Grades 1-8 will be dropped off at the top of the playground and will be directed to the door they should use for entry. Please do NOT park and walk your child into school. If you are a walker, please walk your child to the door across from the playground. A staff member will direct them to the correct door.
Pick up process has changed. Please follow the attached directions for pick up. There is no parking or getting out of your car for pick up. We will put your child in the car.
Lunch
Please note that there is no HOT Lunch on the first day of school. Send a packed lunch with your child. We will begin to take orders for hot lunches on Tuesday Sept 1st, 2020. Lunch will be in the classroom. We are unable to prepare microwave lunches or heat lunches at school.
Supplies
Please send in school supplies throughout the week. You do not have to send them all on the first day. The students need to be able to carry them in on their own. If you find extra wipes, we would appreciate it. If you can not find wipes, don’t worry.
Parent Information
Verification Forms and a parent checklist will be sent home on the first day of school. Please check the info on the form and email Traci with any updates. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we have correct information and can call someone to pick up your child if he/she is sick. The home checklist is for you to use every morning before your child goes to school.
New Entrance
Please remember the new entrance and office is located at the doorway across from the playground. Please use this entrance. If the fence is locked, please press the buzzer at the gate and at the doorway.
Hope this helps answer some of your questions. We are ready for Monday. We will all take it one day at a time. So looking forward to seeing your children.
Reminders:
- Friday Sept 4th is a Professional In Service Day. Please call or email if you have questions.
- Mass for 1-5 students is Tuesday at 8:45 and 6-8 students on Thursday at 8:45
Thank you for your continued support. Keep the faith.
