We're so excited about the upcoming school year! Over 30 families joined us for back to school night on Tuesday, August 25th! Mrs. Whitehair shared some important details with parents.
If you missed the virtual kickoff of Back to School Night, here is a video recap.
Until 7:30 PM on Tuesday, August 26th, families can complete a Scavenger Hunt to be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift card. Also, post your Rainbow walk pictures to the Home & School Facebook group!
Here are some important highlights from the video:
School Hours
7:55 am to 3:15 pm
School
The school building will be limited to teachers, staff, students, and approved volunteers. Masks, temperature checks, and sanitizer is required.
Items to bring Daily
Filled water bottles - plastic, no glass. Prefer clear but will allow others if it keeps water cold.
Extra mask in book bags
PE shoes - even for those in preschool.
Drop Off
Students dropped off between 7:30 am and 7:50 am will sit in sibling groups until they go classrooms at 7:50 am
K-5 students and early drop-off preschoolers will use the front door.
At 7:45 AM - 7:55 AM Preschoolers will need to use the southeast entrance directly across from the parish hall entry. This is to ease congestion for heavy traffic times.
Dismissal
Preschoolers will dismiss at 3:00 PM unless they have older siblings — all preschoolers will release a few minutes early on Friday to ease congestion
Students will have stagger dismissal by family. On the first day of school, the school will issue a sign with students' last names. Parents are asked to stay in cars and hold up signs. Teachers will dismiss by family.
Morning preschool will dismiss from front steps

First Friday Lunch
New this year will be a First Friday Lunches open to parents. The First Friday of every month students may bring a sack lunch or buy one as they would any other lunch. Parents will be allowed to come on those days, weather permitting, to eat with your child(ren) outside. More details will be posted soon.
There is a lot of other information in the video so if you get a chance, please watch.
