Happy Monday FORCE Families!
We hope that your week is off to a wonderful start and that you are all staying healthy and safe. As January winds down, we are looking at February and the end of Trimester 2 (Feb. 19). Crazy to think we are already almost 2/3 through this tumultuous school year with hopes of hopefully returning to a sense of normalcy in the fall. February holds two Mondays off for holidays as well as our Parent-Teacher Conference Week. Since we were unable to hold conferences in November because we were just coming back to in person teaching, the school district moved Conference week to the last week of February - 2/22 - 2/26.
Please see the information below on changes for Conference Week regarding the school schedule. Also, be on the lookout for communication from your teacher regarding signing up for conference days and time slots. And as you would expect, all conferences will be held online via Zoom.
As we start we continue the journey of in person learning into 2021, please be mindful of these important safety procedures at Fiddyment Farm - The closer we can conform to these expectations, the less chance there will be of classroom or the whole school having to quarantine and switch to distance learning.
1. If your child complains about being ill or shows symptoms of illness while at school, they will most likely be sent home. When this happens, our district nursing staff will then reach out to the family and inquire about the student, documenting symptoms, and giving a timeline for that student to return to school. This could be the next day, or staying out for a longer period - it all depends on the symptoms and possible COVID-19 risk/exposure. PLEASE NOTE - Fiddyment Farm is bound to the directive of the district office nurse's COVID team and cannot overturn their plan for students to return to school. We appreciate your patience if one of your children become ill and have to stay away from school for a period of time, as we CANNOT let students return unless they are cleared by the nursing team. If you have a child out for a period longer than a day or two, your child will be offered school work to stay up to speed on classroom learning.
2. Please do a proper health check of your children BEFORE they come to school - take their temp, ask about queasy tummies and headaches, check for runny and stuffy noses, and listen for coughs. And if your child has symptoms of being sick for any reason, please keep them home until they feel better - they can always catch up on the work, but getting others sick could lead to bad outcomes down the road!
3. Please make sure your child does NOT leave the house without a face covering, especially if they are in grades 3-5, where it is mandatory. Even though it is not mandatory in TK-2, it is strongly recommended for students to wear a mask or face shield to keep themselves and others as safe as possible. So far EVERYONE has been doing AWESOME with this!
4. Please remember our new attendance procedure - if your child is staying home from school, you no longer need to call - just fill out the quick Google Form - LINK HERE!
5. Please try to refrain from dropping off items in our school office. We need to limit the amount of exposure to others in order to keep you and our staff safe.
As always, we want to thank our community of parents and guardians for supporting Fiddyment Farm Elementary School, our students, and our staff! Stay healthy, stay safe, and take care!
Have a wonderful rest of your week and remember to always - "BE A FORCE FOR GOOD"
