New Skyward Self-Certification Tool for In-Person Learners!
We are officially into day one and thank everyone for their patience with our new processes. One new item that may make things even quicker (especially for car riders with their guardians) is the new Health Screening tool on your Family Access screen in Skyward. Follow the directions provided daily to self-certify your child as healthy and symptom free, then take a screenshot to share with the staff member to proceed straight into the building. *You will need a phone to show proof of your self-certification in the car lane or at the front door. If students/parents do not show this proof, they will be screened before entering.

Welcome Back Wildcats!! We are so excited to get to see all of you today! Just a reminder that today is a half day. Manor dismisses at 11:15am and Hensey dismisses at 11:45am. Please be aware that bus times are approximate as we figure out our new guidance as it pertains to busing.
ALSO, ALL AUGUSTA LANE RIDERS (Farmdale Route) will be picked up at the end of Augusta Lane at Augusta Lane and Farmdale (the entrance to the Lane) The bus will not turn down Augusta Lane. Have a great first day back!!!
Bus schedules have been sent out via Skyward message. We are working to get them updated on our website as well.
Please be patient as we adjust times over the next couple of weeks. We will be splitting up routes to minimize student numbers on the buses. Students riding buses will not be marked tardy for late bus arrivals. If your student is signed up for a bus but will not be riding, please notify the classroom teacher.

We have been getting lots of calls about getting school supplies. We would like to clear things up.
1st thru 3rd grade students will bring all of their supplies with them on the first day of school.
Kindergarten students will need to bring all of their supplies with them to the screening next week.
Staff will be all around the building to help students get them to their class.
Parents of Remote Learners- Please sign up for a time to get supplies and technology for your student(s). Thanks!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
In addition to our Wildcats Return Plan 2020-2021 that was recently shared with parents and staff, we are providing the information below to assist you with planning for the start of a new school year. We are committed to keeping our schools open when possible, and we appreciate your support in this effort.
1. HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN FOR CHILD CARE – School could be cancelled at any time for a variety of issues related to COVID-19. These may be short- or long-term closures. This does not mean we will close school at the drop-of-a-hat - we are committed to keeping our schools open when it is possible for us to do so. This is a heads-up, however, that similar to being in a hazardous winter weather pattern, school closures could come at any time, and with short notice. We will use our mass calling system and social media to notify parents when school closures occur.
2. MASK-UP ON BUSES AND IN SCHOOLS – We are serious about this! Face coverings are required for everyone entering a school bus, or a school building. Face coverings must remain on at all times while on buses and in buildings. The only exceptions are when students are being supervised during lunch, snack time, recess and/or outdoor P.E (while maintaining social distancing). Students who arrive to board buses or enter schools without a face covering, will be provided with a disposable face mask.
Again, we look forward to the start of a new school year!
Sincerely,
Chad Allaman, Superintendent
Baseball Parents- Practice tomorrow (8/8/20) from 8:30am-10:30am. A parent meeting will be held at 10:15am at the field. Please bring a pen to sign required paperwork.
Thank you for your patience as we are finalizing bus stop times. They will be posted on Monday afternoon. Reminder that times are approx, especially these first couple weeks. It is always a good idea to have your child at their stop at least 5 minutes earlier than their scheduled time. Masks will be required on all buses and temperatures will be taken prior to loading.
Softball parents and players: Jersey distribution and parent meeting will be Saturday August 8th at 11:00. Meet at the field so we can keep our social distance.
We will go over information and contracts at this time. Please bring your own pen to sign the contracts. Wear your masks if you can’t be 6 feet apart at all times.
Thank you,
Coach Lyles

Welcome Back Beverly Manor Students!
We have hit the time of year where we would usually be opening our front doors and having families flood the building for supply drop-off and taking a chance to tour the building or meet your teacher. Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to go virtual this year, but we are excited to welcome you under any circumstances.
