Being new to the building, 5th grade students may walk through the building to get an idea of where their homerooms are and where their locker is.  To limit the number of students and socially distance in the building, times are scheduled based on last names. Students and one adult may enter the building and they must wear masks while in the building. The tour will be self guided and a map of the building will be available. 8:00-9:00am Last name A-C; 9:30-10:30 Last name D-J; 11:00-12:00 Last name K-M; 12:30-1:30 Last name N-S; 2:00-3:00 Last name T-Z. If students don't attend on Friday they will receive their course list (which includes homeroom teacher info.) when it is posted onto schoology later this week. Also, more information will be mailed  to families with details for signing into Schoology.
