WELCOME BACK!

We are so glad to be starting another school year with all of you, and what a school year it will be! We are excited to have our students back with us in person and remotely. We are maintaining our COVID-19 protocols and know that your children will continue to do an

amazing job with our routines and procedures.

Our school hours are as follows:

8:30 - Supervision begins

8:45 - Entry Bell

10:25 - 11:05 - First Nutrition Break

12:45 - 1:25 - Second Nutrition Break

3:05 - Dismissal Bell

3:20 - Supervision ends

MASKS: Mask wearing is now MANDATORY for all students, Kindergarten to Grade 8. Please ensure that you are sending your child to school with multiple masks so that they can change a mask that becomes dirty or lost. Students will NOT be required to wear masks at recess and will be cohorting with their classmates in recess zones during this time.

Parents are also MANDATED to wear a mask while on school grounds, this includes when you are dropping off and picking up your children.

LUNCH/FOOD: Please remember that for the safety of everyone, we are a NUT FREE school. All food garbage from snacks and lunches will be coming home to reduce our school garbage and recycling.

PHONES: Personal cell phones are not normally permitted in the school. Students will then be advised to leave their cell phones in their lockers for the duration of the day.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are here to support you.

We want the transition back to school to be a safe and positive experience for everyone!

Be well,

The River Oaks Staff
