Important Things to Remember for Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Posted on

Good morning SRCA Family,

 

Thank you to all parents and students who began last week.  The arrival and dismissal procedures went very smooth and that was due in part to your help by preparing your child each morning for school!!  To continue to ensure we are staying safe and following the proper protocols, please read and follow the procedures below. 

 

  • Arrival
    • Continue to send in the signed affirmation form (daily health screening) with your child every day. They will NOT be allowed in the classroom without the signed form.  Extra forms were given to your child on their first day of school.  Forms can be found on the school website.

 

  • Dismissal
    • When picking up your child, please do not stand by the door where your child is getting picked up. This is prohibiting the teacher and students to remain socially distanced when they are outside.
    • Do not enter the building and grab your child off the line. Please allow the teachers to follow the dismissal protocols we have set in place for your child’s safety.

 

  • Snacks
    • Since we have changed our dismissal time to 1:30 pm every day, you child will have an opportunity to have a snack during the day. It is a light snack and not a full lunch.  The following snacks are NOT allowed.
      • NO candy, gum, popcorn, and soda
      • NO sugary drinks or juices for grades 4-8.
    • Students should be in a water bottle since the water fountains are closed for safety reasons.
    • During gym days, students should bring in an extra water bottle and/or a Gatorade or Vitamin water.

 

Any concerns, please let me know!

 

Enjoy the remainder of this beautiful day!

Ms. Donato

First Three Days of School Update

Posted on

Dear SRCA Families,

We are two days away from our first three days of school.  What an exciting time!!  The faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing their classrooms for your child(ren) arrival.  Below is the name of your child’s teacher, room number and building entrance.  In addition, photos were sent to parent’s individual emails.  The photos taken show

  • your child’s classroom where each desk has been distanced 6 feet apart.
  • how every bathroom has a hand sanitizer station located outside
  • stairs are labeled with up and down arrows to ensure one direction flow of traffic occurs in a smooth and efficient way.
  • the hallways have social distance markers placed on the floors of both buildings.

Once a student arrives to their classroom, the teacher will greet your child and show your child where they are to be seated.  Eighth grade students will be greeted by their teachers once they reach the third floor.  Their homeroom teacher will tell them what classroom to go to and where to sit.

 

Affirmation Form

We are still in the process of creating the app through the OptionC Parent Portal.  That should be up and running within the first full or second week of school.  For now, your child will receive a paper form.  Please answer the three questions on the paper and return to school signed by a parent or guardian the first day and every day thereafter until the app is ready to launch.  Your child will be given extra copies of the paper by their teacher the first day they enter the building.

 

If the student comes to school without the letter, then they will be sent to a separate area of the building until a parent is reached and is able to affirm.

 

Please remember to affirm your child EVERYDAY.

 

Parent Daily Health Screening

 

 

Looking forward to seeing you again,

Ms. Donato

 

 

PLEASE READ!!! …NEW Dismissal TIME for September!

Posted on

Dear SRCA Families,

 

We are fast approaching the first day of the new school year.  With a successful reopening comes, sometimes comes adjustments, in order to provide a safe and successful reopening.  With that being said, the Diocese has recommended Catholic Schools and Academies change their dismissal time to 1:30 pm, instead of 3:00 pm.  This new guidance will allow

 

  • Students to reduce the number of hours that they are wearing their facial covering
  • For adequate cleaning and disinfecting to take place
  • For the reduction of the amount of time students are in a classroom, during the warm months of September and October

 

Lunch will still be provided.  However, it will be a Grab n’ Go lunch instead.  Once students are dismissed, they will be able to grab their lunch, before exiting the building and eat it at home.  The lunch will still be a cold lunch, with either a sandwich or wrap, salad, fruit and milk.

 

ONLY students who are enrolled in the 21st Century or SONYC Program will be able to stay until their program begins at 3:00 pm.  Students will have the opportunity to eat their Grab N’ Go lunch or their own lunch from home. Once they finish their lunch, they will be expected to work on their homework, until their program begins.

 

The 1:30 pm dismissal time will begin the week of September 14th.  The new dismissal time will be re-evaluated after the first trimester.

 

Below are the new times dismissal will take place.

 

Time

Location
1:30 pm Nursery and Prekindergarten Small school yard at the double brown doors
