Technology Matters-Deadline Approaching
Laptops went home with Bluejays who registered to take their devices home. Devices should return to school, fully charged, every day that students are in the building. Cardinals who are eligible will get their devices this week.
For all of those who have not yet filled in the Student Learning Device Loan Form, you can fill out the digital version at this link.
*Deadline-8/20* Additionally, the district is offering a Family Protection Plan (FPP) for the devices this year for only $25. The FPP will cover accidental damage (not loss or theft) of the device and provide up to TWO replacement devices this school year. Please note that the cost of device repairs (if the FPP is NOT purchased) has increased due to demand for the parts (a Chromebook screen replacement, our most common repair, is now $90!), so we HIGHLY recommend that you purchase the FPP for each student's device.
The FPP can be purchased through School Cash Online. You will find instructions on how to register for School Cash Online and connect your student(s) to your account here.
Masks and Water Bottles
Please make sure your child has extra masks in their book bag. Children need to wear new masks daily and parents should check and replace any masks that have been used throughout the day. Water bottles are a necessity! It is hot outside and there are no water fountains from which our students can drink. Parents should send students to school with a bottle full of water. There are water bottle refilling stations so students can refill their bottles during the day.
Covid Protocols
In order to prevent our entire community from having to quarantine should one student test positive, we have separated our students by rosters and the teachers will be moving between the two classrooms. Cardinals are located in room 27 and Bluejays are located in room 29.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NURSE IS IMMEDIATELY MADE AWARE OF ANY POSITIVE COVID TESTS or CLOSE CONTACT WITHIN A FAMILY.
Please send an email to Ms. Marianne, Ms. Jazmin and Nurse Chris - christine.o'boyle@sccpss.com
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL SICK OR IF EXHIBITING THESE SYMPTOMS:
Fever of 100.4 orally or 99.4 using a thermal device
New cough

Fatigue
Muscle aches or body aches
New loss of taste or smell

Chilly Classrooms!
The classrooms can be cool at times. It is a great idea to send a sweater or zip up sweatshirt, labeled with a name on the tag, in your child's bookbag.
Snack Time
Please send a snack in with your child daily. Students choose when they would like to eat snack during the day.
It is very important that all families sign up for our community Remind! Please text @ac3c9 to number 81010 or if you are having trouble with 81010 try texting @ac3c9 to 971-239-4842 (Please sign up!)
