Dear Polson Families,
Welcome back to a new school year! We are very excited to see the students in person and online. Tomorrow we welcome Cohort A students and Friday we will do the same for Cohort B students. I would like to share a few reminders/updates as you prepare for the first day.
· We will be giving the students a packet of classroom materials for their personal use, which should be brought back and forth with them each day. They will receive a folder of classroom and school information, as well.
· A Chromebook and charger will be distributed to students on their first day.
· Distance Learning Only students may pick up their materials and Chromebook at Polson between 10:00 – Noon on Thursday or Friday. Please drive by the café and a staff member will bring it to your car.
· Lunch is available for purchase with a student ID number. Please make sure money is on their account as we will not be accepting cash or checks. The menu is posted on the district website.
· If you are planning to drive your child, please enter and exit through the DHHS driveway. There will be 2 lanes for drop off and pick up.
· If your child is planning to ride the bus, please review the times that the bus starts the run for your neighborhood, which can be found on the district website.
· Student schedules are accessible on Infinite Campus. If they don't remember their login information, they will receive the schedule on the first day of school. Please refer to the placement letter so students know their homeroom teacher and room number for the first day.
· All school members, including students are required to wear a mask that covers your nose and chin.
· When attending school remotely, all learners are expected to log into their Google Classroom at the start of the period and to have your video on.
· Students are encouraged to use the automatic hand sanitizer dispensers, located in each classroom, and to bring a water bottle to school that they may refill using the touchless water dispensers that are located throughout the building.
· Teachers will be sending codes to Google Classroom to the student's gmail account. Please check in the next couple of days to make sure they have signed up for each core and related arts class.
·Schedule for the second week of school: Monday, September 7th: Labor Day – No School Thank you for all of your continued support as we start the 2020-21 school year.
