Welcome to Grade 4! I can't wait to meet all of you!
A few important reminders are listed below. Please review these with your child:
I will meet you in the soccer field on your first day of school. Last names beginning A-K will attend Tuesday, September 1. Last names L-Z will attend Wednesday, September 2. Everyone will attend Thursday, September 3.
If possible, please wear a mask on your first day of school. I will be waiting for you on the soccer field. When you arrive, please line-up 2 meters apart. Please refrain from using the playground equipment.
My class will meet and depart from the same location on the soccer field everyday. Students will not be permitted to enter or leave through other doors in the school. It is extremely important that students arrive to school on time this year. As well, if you are picking up your child at the end of the day, please be sure to arrive on time. If you are going to be late, please phone the school ASAP so arrangements can be made to ensure a secure pick-up. If you arrive late in the morning, please proceed to the front entrance where your child will be escorted to their classroom.
Students attending First Class will be escorted outside to meet their class in the morning. After school, they will walk outside with their class and then meet the First Class staff outside. They will not be able to go directly to the gym after school.
If your child is meeting a sibling after school, please arrange a meeting spot outside. They will be dismissed from their class first before they can connect with a sibling.
All students will be eating lunch in their classrooms this year. Please ensure lunch items are sent with your child in the morning, as parents will not be permitted in the school.
Please DRESS FOR THE WEATHER. Students will be meeting outside everyday and it is going to take some time to get all students in and out of the school.
As students enter and exit the school, they will be asked to use hand sanitizer. They will also be sanitizing their hands frequently through-out the day. Students will also be expected to wear a mask through-out the day. If there are reasons your child may not be able to wear a mask. Please contact me ASAP at ncgoodall@cbe.ab.ca.
School will look different this year. But these differences have been put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19. We understand that it may take some time for your child to adjust to these changes. Despite these necessary changes, I am beyond excited to be back at New Brighton and I can't wait to meet your child.
Thank you so much for your cooperation! See you Tuesday or Wednesday!
Mrs. Goodall
