Hola!
Everyday this week, we will share a video that will help prepare those that have chosen Face-to-Face learning. Today's topic is the new Lunch and Recess Procedures. Please watch this video. youtu.be/7_cz8OSZlII
Lunch:
o Breakfast and Lunch will be free for all AISD students!
o Tables rearranged for physical distance so there is limited seating. Students will sit apart from one another.
o At this time only Kindergarten, 1st grade and 5th grade will eat in the cafeteria. All other grade levels will go to the cafeteria to receive their meal and return to class to eat in the classroom. This is subject to change.
o Students are not required to wear masks while eating and drinking.
o No visitors will be allowed.
o No food deliveries will be allowed. If a student forgets their lunch from home, they would get lunch from the cafeteria.
o Virtual learners will still be able to receive meals at the AISD designated locations. Check here: www.aisd.net/return-to-school-2020/fall-2020-meal-distribution/
Recess:
o All students will receive hand sanitizer on their way on and off the play areas.
o In order to keep classes safely separated, each grade level has developed a rotation schedule for the various outdoor play areas: South playground, North playground, Outdoor Amphitheater, Basketball Goals, and Swings (East) Playground.
o Only one class will be allowed in a play area at a time.
o Students may remove masks during outdoor play, but should still maintain safe, social distance.

Good afternoon, All-Stars!
Everyday this week, we will share a video that will help prepare those that have chosen Face-to-Face learning. Today's topic is the new Building Procedures. We show you around the school. Please watch this video. youtu.be/6MD3H3mDGM4
Safety Protocols:
o Students in grades 1-12 will be required to wear a mask. Students should bring their own mask. We have some on hand if a student forgets his or her mask. The school environment is safest and the spread of the virus most controlled when all individuals wear a mask, especially at times when remaining 6 feet from others is difficult. Students may remove masks only to eat, during recess, or exercising;
o Students in Kinder are encouraged to bring a mask to class, but are not required to wear a mask unless it is during transition (around other staff and students).
o To the extent possible, students, staff, and all persons on the campus will be expected to remain six feet from others at all times.
o Hallways, tables and desks arranged for minimal contact and physical distance to the extent possible
o Individual use of school supplies. Please make sure students bring their own supplies. Find school supplies list HERE: drive.google.com/file/d/1iCbgexDFU6Q7fY3F_DnSxakM3EDL9kL-/view?usp=sharing
o Students should bring their own technology device and charger (or AISD borrowed device)
o Use of sanitizer and handwashing breaks.
o Water fountains will not be operable in the school. We will have some water bottles for students, but we highly encourage students to bring their own water bottles with their names on it.
o All staff and students will participate in daily health screenings and temperature checks.
o It is recommended that students who are attending in-person learning limit contact with persons at high risk from COVID illness
o All visitors to the campus must have an appointment. Visitors will not be allowed past the reception area of the campus in most cases.
o Parents will NOT be allowed to escort their children to class. We will have adults to help students the first days to direct them to their homeroom class.

Good afternoon, All-Stars!
Everyday this week, we will share a video that will help prepare those that have chosen Face-to-Face learning. Today's topic is the new Afternoon Dismissal Pick-Up Procedures. Please watch this video. youtu.be/3P2B8a9hmaE
• The dismissal procedures will be very different, as we cannot have a large number of students congregating. New procedures will require lots of patience.
• Please let your child’s teacher know if your child is a car rider, bus rider, daycare pick up or walker.
• At this time, we are planning to dismiss students from classrooms. When parents arrive, the car tag with the child's name and teacher’s name shall be displayed. A staff member at the entrance driveway will enter the name on a dismissal spreadsheet that will be displayed in the classroom. When the child and teacher sees the name, the child will go out to the designated pick up spot. Staff members will be outside to assist.
o North Doors Zone 8 (near outdoor amphitheater)- Kinder and 1st
o East Doors Zone 6 (back of school)- 4th, 5th, 6th
o East Doors Zone 7 (back of school-near basketball goals)- 2nd, 3rd
o Main Doors Zone 2- walkers, bus, daycare only
• Parents will not be able to park and walk up to doors to get children. Everyone will stay in the car and display the car tag that has the child's name and teacher’s name.
• If you have siblings and are carpooling, you will go around the back and pick up at multiple stops.
• In order to allow smoother traffic at the front of the school and for us to serve you better in the office, we are asking that if you want to pick up your child early from school for a doctor’s appointment, please inform the office in advance prior to 3:15 pm. After 3:15 p.m., you will follow the dismissal procedures explained above and in the video.
