Parent Guide to Returning to Onsite School
September 2020
Welcome back Glendale Pirates!
I want to take a moment to thank you all for your support thorough out the COVID-19 Comprehensive Distance Learning. Please know that the Glendale Team has appreciated your patience, flexibility and resilience as the fall program is rolled out. In the coming week Glendale Elementary School will begin onsite instruction for Kindergarten through Grade 3 on Wednesday September 30, 2020. Grade 4-6 will be starting on Monday October 5, 2020
Students will be on campus with enhanced safety precautions in place such as hand sanitizer availability, increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing, students and staff wearing masks throughout the day, established cohorts that are tracked, as well as protocols in place to support students.
Parents who have decided to stay with online instruction
We will be providing “live” instructional opportunities – that will align with the instruction that is happening during reading and math. Current ZOOM times will be adjusted to align with the onsite school day schedule. Teachers will be contacting you regarding this new schedule. If you are not able to attend during those live sessions – we are able to provide opportunities through Edginuity – an online instructional program or through packet based instruction. Please contact your teacher if you need to take advantage of one of these options for your student.
Prior to Coming to School Every day:
Parents please evaluate your child’s health status daily. If your child is not feeling well or demonstrating any symptoms of illness such as fever, cough, congestion, tiredness, sore throat, diarrhea, headaches or other symptoms we are asking you to keep them home and notify the school. Staff will be required to self-evaluate and are instructed to not be on campus if they are experiencing any signs of illness. Students will be visually evaluated by staff as they enter the school and throughout the day. Any student who appears with symptoms during the day will be isolated and parents called.

Hand Washing –
Students will be asked to sanitize or wash hands as they enter the classroom, before meals and at other appropriate times.
Discipline
There will be a lot of practice and support for students who are learning a new way to do school. Discipline will be limited to absolute refusals (ex “I do not have to” … “you can’t make me”) to comply with adult directions regarding COVID protocols. Please encourage your students to follow the protocols to the best of their ability so that staff can teach and support them throughout the day with learning the new system. By sending them to onsite instruction you are aware that these COVID guidelines are in place and will be enforced during the school day.
Outside Learning We will have outside learning stations for classes to move out of their classrooms – while the weather permits. All safety protocols will be in place during these lesson opportunities as well.
We are super excited to have students return to our campus. Working together we can make this a very positive and productive learning program for all students.
