A MESSAGE FROM our PrincipaL

We are ready Las Palmas Alebrijes! For some of you, we look forward to see you back in person for Hybrid Learning; for others, we are excited to continue our high quality Distance Learning.  Regardless of whether you are in Cohort A and coming to school Mondays and Tuesdays, Cohort B and we get to see you at school on Thursdays and Fridays, or if you are in Cohort C and we get to see you on Zoom every day, we want to say thank you for all of your support during this transition.
 
We know that starting April 6th, every student's daily schedule is changing...but the high quality program we provide will stay the same! Please make sure to look through all of our Re-Opening information so that you are fully prepared for April 6th.
 
Make sure to review our Cohot Schedules so that you know where to be, when to log in, and how to make sure you are on time for school (in-person ANd in Zoom) EVERY DAY!
 
Finally, if your child is attending in-person instruction, please make sure you see our information for Arrival and Dismissal procedures, and all of our procedures for students when on campus and review them with your child so they can be ready to go! Our highest priority is the health, safety, and well-being of all of our students. With your help, the final part of the school year will be a huge success!
 
Sincerely,
Ms. Simmons

Safety

What daily protocols should parents follow before sending their child(ren) to school?
Parents should conduct a health screening at home BEFORE before sending students to school. If a child has a fever of 100.4°, diarrhea, consistent cough, body aches, or any other flu like symptoms, DO NOT SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. Please contact the office to excuse their absence. 
If your child is missing in-person instruction, they CANNOT attend Distance Learning instruction that day to "make up" their absence.
 
How are classrooms arranged to promote safety?
Desks are placed 6 feet apart in classrooms to provide adequate distancing between students. Additionally, students are required to wear masks AT ALL TIMES while on campus, and social distancing will be promotoed AT ALL TIMES.
 
What other precautions will be taken throughout the school day?
All classrooms have hand sanitizer for every student to use when entering and when exiting the classroom. Disinfectant wipes, soap, and disposable masks are also available to teachers. Custodial staff are disenfecting restrooms throughout the day, and disenfecting every classroom.
 
What is the required procedure for students being screened while in the building? How often? Will there be training for teachers?
Students will not be actively screened when arriving at school. However, the office will be immediately notified if any student is showing any flu-like symptoms. This student will be escorted to a Wellness Room and parents will be required to pick up the student.
 
Are students expected to wear masks all day?
Yes, students will be expected to wear masks in the classrooms and around campus for the entire school day.
 
How will I be notified if there is a COVID case in the school?
Parents will receive a letter from the school notifying them if there is a confirmed COVID case.
 
Even more information is available in the Twin Rivers Road to Reopening Plan!
