Our pre-k kids (covered under childcare regulations) have been at school in person all year. They're doing great.
We have great news to share! We're getting ready to welcome our kindergarteners, first, second and third graders back to campus for in-person learning on Monday, Sept. 28!
And we have you and the rest of our community to thank. You've worn your masks, washed your hands, maintained safe distances and avoided crowds. As a result, Pierce County's COVID-19 transmission rates have declined over the past weeks so much that we can begin bringing our kids back to campus, starting with our youngest. As long as the trend continues, our fourth and fifth graders will be next to return for in-person learning on Oct. 12.
We are so ready. Our large classrooms have been set up for weeks so that kids can be properly distanced. And we're lucky to have individual classroom bathrooms and separate entrances. We're providing kids with their own supplies and big individual containers to keep them in. We've created new outdoor classrooms. And, of course, we will follow all required and recommended health and safety protocols, including morning health screenings, social distancing, wearing masks, and cohort grouping. We have also committed to offering the option of distance learning all year, even when we are able to be in person. Find out more about our Safer Start Plan HERE.
We're aware that things can change, but right now, we are so excited to see many of our kids and teachers in person!
