Back To School – January 10

Good afternoon,

There will be some general information from Mr. Kanno regarding return to school. I am writing some specific updates for Division 4.

Division 4 will be using the computer lab for the foreseeable future until the regular classroom is ready to be occupied. It will definitely be more than a few weeks. One positive is we get a new classroom!!

The new entrance will on the Holdom side right across the street from the Circle K.  We have to share the same staircase at Mme. Jeffrey’s class. Please ask your child to wait at the bottom of the stairwell until the other class has entered their classroom.

There is no sink so I have set up two sanitization stations at the entrances.  If your child would rather wash their hands, please remind them to go one at a time to minimize congestion in the hallway. There is also no cloakroom or place to put their jackets and bags. There will be space under or on the table, on their chair.

I have done my best to try and provide distancing in the classroom.  Here are a few photos to let your child know what to expect when they arrive. The classroom has 2 UVC light filters and a HEPA filter unit.

I will suggest students, as an enhanced safety measure, to eat lunch at their own desk facing forward to minimize face-to-face non masked contact.

Also, in the event we go to remote learning, please let me know if you are in need of a device (laptop) or internet access (not mobile data). The school can provide resources.   An ipad or a phone will not be enough for the work that will be assigned. Any questions feel free to contact me.
