COVID-19 "Return to School" Information & Protocols

In order for your child to return to in-person learning, you must submit the consent form for in-school COVID-19 testing by the first day your child returns to their school building . Mandatory in-school testing will happen weekly for a random selection of staff and students. 

All students and visitors must fill out this form PRIOR to each entry into the school building.  

We are using a blended learning schedule for the 2020 - 2021 school year. That means that if you did not choose 100% remote learning at home, then your child will be in school some days and learning from home other days. The blended learning schedule outlines the days Group A & B will be at school participating in in-person learning.

• Group A will be in school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and be in remote learning on Wednesdays and Fridays. 
• Group B will be in school on Wednesdays and Fridays and be in remote learning on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  
• Groups A & B will alternate in-person and remote learning on Mondays.
• Students that opted in for 100% remote learning will be learning from home 5 days a week.
• If you need to switch your child's learning group, contact Ms. Ricks at KRicks@SGL378.org.
• If you would prefer 100% online remote for your child, you may complete the Learning Preference Survey at any time and email Principal Ricks to inform her of your decision.
• The school day is from 8:30am - 2pm. Students may arrive no earlier than 8:30am and must exit promptly at the end of the school day.

Picking Up Your Child Early

You will NOT be allowed inside the building to pick-up your child. Call when you are DIRECTLY OUTSIDE IN THE MAIN COURTYARD.  A staff member will meet you outside with your child and the ‘student sign-out’ book.  You must show ID and sign the book acknowledging you picked up your child.  All persons must be on the Blue Card.  Persons must be 18 years and older to pick up a student. Come with your own pen or writing utensil.

Over the Counter Admissions

In addition to following the above protocols and making an appointment, provide the Main Office with your paperwork and ID.  [Call the school ahead of time or look on our website under ‘Around SGL > Student Admissions’ to learn of the documents we require for admissions.]  A packet will be handed to you to complete outside of the school building.  However, we recommend that you come with pre-filled paperwork from off the website.  No paperwork may be filled out in the main office.   Once complete, you must make another appointment to bring the packet back in and hand in documents that the main office stated you were missing, if any. Come with your own pen or writing utensil.

Face-to-Face Letters or Records

All request for letters or records must be made in advance.  Parents/Guardians will not be allowed in the building to make letter or record requests.  Call the school to speak with Ms. Rios if you are interested in obtaining letters or records.  You may also email her at DRIOS@SGL378.org.
