Hello families, here is some more information about returning to school:
Lunch for all: This is new information: schools will be able to provide free breakfast and lunch to all children under 18 until the end of December. An online order form will be sent home each week, starting next week.
New school calendar: The school calendar has been revised. You can see it here.
Bus routes: Here are the bus routes. There may be delays during the first few weeks of school. Please be patient while we adjust to new systems.
Flu shots: Nurse Megan recommends that all adults and kids get a flu shot this year. Adults can get flu shots at their doctor or at pharmacies. Kids (6 months and older) can get flu shots at the pediatrician.
Masks: All students are expected to wear masks all day, including on the bus. Students can take "mask breaks" outside if they are 6 feet away from others. Of course, kids can take off their masks to eat! Kids will bring masks home every night so they can be washed.
Traveling: If you travel outside of Vermont, please refer to this map from the VT Department of Health. If you travel to a county that is not in Vermont, and it is not green on the map, you may need to quarantine when you return.
Newspaper article: Superintendent Libby Bonesteel and School Board Chair Jim Murphy wrote this article in the Times-Argus newspaper about how we can all work together to stay safe.
We can't wait to see your kids VERY soon!
(This information is summarized from Superintendent Bonesteel's August 27 and September 3 letters.)
