Important Information

We are very excited to start a new school year with you! Despite the

challenges we may encounter along the way, we have each other. We

will, as a family, conquer these challenges together and experience a

rewarding and successful year. With our first week of virtual school

complete, a huge shout-out to the entire GRP family for their

dedication. We have worked very hard to set up a consistent structure in

Schoology throughout the day. Our children were beyond amazing in

following directions and learning to navigate the new school day. Last,

but certainly not least, our parents, guardians, and caregivers were

extraordinarily patient and flexible in supporting their children's

virtual school day.

families of our Health Mitigation Plan and ask for your help and support. Below are a few of the

strategies that are included in our plans to keep our little Panthers healthy and safe:

 Completing a Daily Health Screening form for each child in ParentVue is required.

 All staff and students must wear face masks when physical distancing cannot be maintained

including when riding the bus.

 Increasing the space between students to a minimum of 3 feet apart.

 Mobile hand sanitizing stations are available at main entrances and hallways.

 Enhancing facility cleaning. High-touch surfaces and classroom restrooms will be cleaned

throughout the day.

 Integrating a robust schedule for hand hygiene. Each class has a daily scheduled Mask

Break and Handwashing time.

 Keeping children with his/her class for the entire school day to minimize mixing student

groups.

 Limiting sharing of supplies to the greatest extent possible. This will require that each

student is responsible for providing all of his/her own school supplies.

Meal Distribution

Chesapeake Public Schools was notified that children will be able to eat for free through the end of

December. Families that may be eligible for meal benefits are asked to be go ahead and complete the

application for meal benefits to assist with other needs - https://cpschools.com/school-nutrition-

services/free-and-reduced-meal-application/

School Nutrition Services will continue distributing meals (breakfast and lunch) on Mondays and

Wednesdays at the Main Entrance from 3:30 - 5:30 for children who remain in virtual school -

regardless of option selected. Two meals will be distributed on Mondays and three meals on

Wednesdays. We highly encourage pre-ordering meals through MyPaymnetPlus.com account to ensure

we have meals ready for you at your desired location. If you have not preordered, the meals are on a

first come first serve basis.

School breakfast and lunch will be served daily, at no cost to children who have transitioned back to

campus through a traditional schedule.

Parent Drop Off /Pick Up

This year parent drop-off and pick-up will take place on the bus ramp. As a result of our request for

parents to provide transportation if at all possible, we are anticipating a

significantly higher volume of

cars for both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. To help reduce the impact on traffic, we are

asking Pre-school and kindergarten students to drop off in the morning between 7:15 and 7:25 and

pick up from 2:04 and 2:15. First and second grade parents are requested to drop off between 7:25 -

7:35 and pick up from 2:15-2:30. (Families with multiple children will be dismissed at the same time).

Parent Drop Off

Staff members are on duty every morning on the bus ramp to see that students get into the building

quickly and safely. In order to keep everyone safe and to keep the traffic moving, please observe the

following procedures:

Pre-K and K drop off: 7:15-7:25

& 2

drop off: 7:25 - 7:35

1. Allow plenty of time.

2. Enter only through the bus ramp and follow the circle around to the stop sign.

3. Stay in single file to the right next to the sidewalk.

4. Have your children exit your car on the passenger side next to the sidewalk.

5. Do not pass a car that has stopped in front of you. Let the staff manage traffic flow.

6. If your child needs assistance getting out of the car, please wait in line and pull up in front of the

stop sign or to the very left of the car l
