Dear Elementary Parents,
We hope that you had an enjoyable Tet break with your family. As we begin the Year of the Tiger, we are so excited to welcome your children back to our physical campus starting this week.
This letter has important information about how to prepare for your child’s return to school.
Important Reminders
- Complete the general Return to Campus Survey (please note, you will receive another survey from the Health Office which must also be completed).
- Attend the parent orientation session for additional information and to have any questions you may have answered.
- Grades 3, 4, and 5: Monday, February 7, 6:00 – 7:00 pm (https://zoom.us/j/91684751696).
- Grades EC, KG, 1 and 2: Tuesday, February 8, 6:00 – 7:00 pm (https://zoom.us/j/99028833201).
- Review the following resources about our health and safety protocols: video, slideshow, and Return to Campus website (here you will also find general information about preparations).
Three-phase Return
The return to physical school will be staggered in three phases: 1) Virtual School, 2) Orientation Days, 3) Physical School.
Phase | Dates |
Virtual School | February 7- 9 |
On-Campus Orientation | February 10 and 11 |
Physical School | February 14 and on |
On-Campus Orientation Days
The on-campus orientation schedule has been developed in order to ensure that we can support each student individually as they get used to being in physical school and interacting in person with teachers and classmates. They will also be trained in our new COVID health and safety routines.
Each class will be divided into two groups, A and B. Your child’s teacher will inform you which group your child is in. Below you will see the detailed on-campus orientation schedule.
