Dear OLG Families,
What a Field Day this week! Thank you to Mrs. Sullivan and all our student leaders for putting on an enthusiastic and fun event, even with the scattered showers and all! Our wonderful 8th graders added thier extra creative energy by sharing their musical, "A COVID Life" with all students watching in their classrooms in special viewing parties as they dried off!
As we move into June, note the special events of next week in the calendar below. Also, a reminder that with all the news and excitement about counties' phases and mask wearing, our schools remain with the travel precautions and mask-wearing at this time for ALL our students. We are excited that our 12 yr old and older students are starting to receive their vaccinations, but a reminder that to be fully vaccinated, individuals must have two weeks after their 2nd shot. None of our current students will reach this point before June 11th, the last day of school. If you are traveling out-of-state then continue to follow the quarantine travel rules to help us all end the school year together safely!
As for next school year, we look forward to beginning on Sept. 1st with many more fully vaccinated in our building. We have the ability to be fully in-person with our regular 5 day schedule (no more a-synch days)! In the coming weeks this June we will have a few "work parties" in order to move middle school classrooms out of the gym and back into regular classrooms! Here are a few more key things we are planning for the Fall:
- Continuing "staggered start"/drop-offs (8am-8:30am)
- Continuing entrance/health "screenings"
- A return to less screen time! Note: We do value the tech tools we have learned and 5th-8th grade can count on frequent 1-1 device usage. More info coming next week direct to these incoming classes. School loaned devices of this year will need to be returned for refreshing this summer.
- Continuing Distancing practices... We can move to 3ft in the classrooms/learning spaces, but our plans include maintaining 6ft distancing for meals/masks-off times.
- Continuing cohorting of our classes (recess, restroom use, movement through the buildings, lunches, etc) allowing for contact tracing/quarantine needs.
With 3ft distance changes and continual growth in community vaccinations, we are able to have 6th-8th grade returning to the regular classrooms, creating improved learning spaces for next year. This will also provide the ability to open up the gym/Walmesley Center for parish, CYO, and our PE class use (of course, all in compliance with current public health rules).
Enjoy the three day weekend and we look forwrad to celebrating our 8th graders next week!
