Dear Brown Families,
Hope all is well…Thursday will be here very soon!
Reminder: Cohort A students come to school Thursday 9/3/20 (full day) and Cohort B students come to school Friday 9/4/20 (full day). (There is no Distance Learning on Thursday and Friday…only in class learning. Distance Learning starts the week of 9/8/20.)
Below you will find the Brown Arrival and Dismissal Plan as well as Room Numbers for each Core Teachers.
Arrival
Taking the bus, here is what you do…
- Students who ride the bus will arrive between 7:50 – 8:00. Students will exit buses in front of the building with curbside drop off.
- Six Grade 4 Cohorts (Teams 4-1, 4-2, 4-3) will enter their classrooms directly from the bus platform. The other two Cohorts (Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Kraus) will enter through a designated door adjacent to the bus platform (There will be signage for Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Kraus rooms) and they will follow the route to their classrooms.
- Grade 5 students will exit the bus, remain 6 feet apart, and enter through the main entrance. They will follow the different routes to Grade 5 classrooms that are all on the second floor.
Getting dropped off by car, here is what you do…
- Students being dropped off should arrive on campus after 8:00 am.
- Grade 4 families will drop off at a designated area in front of the Main Office. Students will then walk to their outside door classroom entrance. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Kraus Homerooms will enter a designated door that will lead them to their classrooms.
- Grade 5 families will drop off at the designated area outside of the cafeteria. Cars will stay to the right when they come down the driveway, continue right through the lower and upper parking lots and drop off students at the designated area. Students will enter through the main entrance maintaining a 6 foot distance between peers and staff.
Dismissal
Going home on the bus…
- Students who take the bus will remain in classrooms until their bus number is called. Bus Dismissal will begin at 2:50. Students will exit the building the same way they entered the building and get on their bus. At that point they will be directed by the bus driver or monitor as to where to sit on the bus.
Getting a ride home…
- Students being picked up via car will be dismissed prior to students taking the bus. Rides should be here between 2:40 – 2:50 pm. Students will exit the building, (by cohort) the same way they entered the building. Each cohort will move to a designated area outside of the building and wait for their ride. Grade 4 students will be in front of Grade 4 classrooms and Grade 5 students will meet in the cafeteria, staying 6 feet apart, and staff will call students to cars and they will meet their rides at the same area they were dropped off.
Additional information:
Parents/Guardians/Designees are asked to be on campus to pick up students between 2:40 – 2:50 pm.
If there are siblings in Grade 4 and 5, OR, a 4th grader carpooling with a 5th grader (in a 5th graders car) those 4th grade students will join their 5th grade carpooler in the cafeteria.
If a 5th grader is getting a ride from a 4th grade parent, the 5th grade student will meet his/her carpooler outside of the 4th graders classroom.
Help Needed:
Please arrive at school at the scheduled time. This will be important for our plan to run smoothly.
If picking up student(s): Please have the last name of the student(s) you are driving home written on a large card or piece of paper and have it visible from the passenger side dash or window. This will help our staff identify and communicate names to students and staff.
Please remind your children who is driving them home (Mom, Dad, Friend) and what car they should be looking out for at school.
Patience is appreciated…we are implementing this plan and many other plans and schedules for the first time. After a few days we will evaluate this and other plans and adjust as needed.
