NEWS FOR YOU
IMPORTANT NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Longer day: North Omak Elementary school will be extending the school day to 1:40 p.m. starting Monday, February 1st. This change will include the preschool, as well. Instead of a staggered release, all students who are being picked up will be sent to the gym at 1:35. Pickup procedures will remain the same.
Specialists and Lunch: With the lengthier day your child will have the opportunity to go to specialists for their grade level. All K-2 children will have P.E. and Music. Kindergarten will have Science. First and Second grades will have Computers and Library. Children will eat their lunch here at school so no food will be coming home in the afternoons.
Meals for at-home students. Buses will still carry meals in the mornings. Parents picking up meals for their children here at North will need to come into the building and follow the arrows to the lunch serving door in the second-grade hallway. The gym will be in full use with P.E. classes. We will not be using the big outdoor gymnasium doors at the front of the building.
Schedules. Students will remain on the A and B schedules. We will not be increasing the number of days children attend, only the length of the two days they attend.
On-Line learning. Teachers will continue to make contact with their at-home cohorts with the time provided after students leave on the buses. Teachers will be communicating with parents to give specific instructions and times for their classroom meetings and other connection times.
Bus Times. Add 2 hours to your afternoon bus arrival times to give yourself a close estimate of when your child will arrive home or at their afternoon destination.
Virtual Learners. Finally, if you are a 100% virtual home and plan to switch back to brick and mortar education, please notify us as soon as possible at 826-2380. Virtual learners using the Accelerate Education program will be unaffected by the changes above and will just continue their program as usual.
Stay tuned for more updates later.
Thank you,
Mr. Schneider
Principal.
