The following email was sent to Elementary families in Aug. 29:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope your summer was filled with great weather, activities, friends, family and books. We are ready to welcome students back to school on Tuesday September 6th.
We’ve included information with this email that may be helpful to have in one location as you start the year. This can all be found on the district website at any time. If you need further information or help, please call the main office at 518-295-6651.
If you have not signed up and logged into Parent Portal yet, please do this ASAP. Contact the office if you need assistance. This is where you will find student report cards, teacher names, and other important information.
The student day begins at 7:45 a.m. If you are dropping your child off, please remember to stay in the drop off lines to the left and right of the black fence in the parking lot, stay in your vehicle, and wait to release your child until directed to do so by staff.
Buses will be loaded at 2 p.m. and release at 2:06 p.m. We will begin releasing vehicles from the pick up line after buses depart at 2:06 p.m. Again, please stay in your vehicle and move forward safely, following guidance of the staff. Staff will only release children from a sidewalk, for their safety. Please have your ID ready to show the teacher on your first meeting. Feel free to review the arrival and dismissal procedures we’ve included.
We are excited to open school resuming many “normal” activities we all value and love. There is no opening guidance from the Department of Health or the State Education Department, so we are prepared to resume all activities. Please be sure to keep your child home when sick. School lunches are free again this year. Information regarding after school curricular opportunities will be coming out in the next few weeks.
Transportation is using an app that allows you to know your child’s bus route, and pinpoint where the bus is on the run. Please see the information regarding Ride 360 if you have not signed up yet.
Many of your questions can be answered in the handbook. It is at the link below and also with this email for your convenience. Any paperwork that needs a signature or response from you will be sent home with your child on the first day of school.
Open House is September 21st. This will be an in-person event. We can’t wait to see you there!
We look forward to having our incoming kindergarten students join us for an orientation and ice cream social on Sept. 1 at 2 p.m. We have greatly enjoyed having all of our pre-k students visit the school this week. We cannot wait to have all of your children back here with us on Tuesday morning.
Please do not hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions. We look forward to a fantastic school year.
Sincerely,
Andrea Polikoski
