Hi Ditto Parents! I just wanted to send you a quick update as there will be lots of new information coming out this week and we prep for the first day of in person instruction next week. Please see below:

*We will be sending out our Campus COVID Safety Plan guidelines on Thursday so that you are aware of protocols when students report Monday. This will include arrival, dismissal procedures, instructional details, lunch/recess info, and daily safety protocols for students.

*You will receive a district letter this week that includes important information regarding return to school.

*Boys and Girls Club after school service will not start until October 13th (this date could change). Please make alternative arrangements. I will communicate plans when finalized.

*We will have a building tour video recording showing our Kindergarten and new students to Ditto how to go from the entrance to their classroom. We will also have symbols along the walkway and hallway to help guide students to their grade level hallway. For safety purposes, we could not have an in person tour. Video will be published Thursday evening.

*As a reminder, our hybrid model starts Sept 28th-October 9th.

More info to come soon! We can’t wait to see our Rangers!!! ... See MoreSee Less
