Letter from Dr. Friedman dated 5/29/2020 Dear Emmons Families: We have reached the end! Despite the COVID crisis it was a wonderful year. We still have a little more fun and closure activities this coming week. Please join us in celebrating the students, teachers, administration, and staff who have worked so hard this year to make it a success! Virtual Field Days: Our virtual field days will occur on June 1st & 2nd. Here is the link to the activities. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1L9Jpy-KrGTXnnZZEks_3tNd-5-Z0CzKsim9T6T0Gl90/edit?usp=sharing There are 20 events. Try at least 4 of them. On the last page of the flyer, there are direction cards for each event, a video demonstration of each event, and a scorecard for you to fill out and turn in. Don't worry about the equipment you need. The videos explain how you can find or make it all from items you have around the house and you can substitute things if needed! Submit your score sheet to Mrs. McCameron by the end of the day on June 2nd by either emailing it or uploading it to your class SeeSaw page or Google Classroom. Medication Pick-up: Medications housed at school will be brought to your car on your assigned day of student material pick-up/drop-off on June 1 or June 2, 2020. Please let the school employee who greets you know that you have medication to retrieve. Pick-up/Drop-off of Student Materials: Family's materials have been organized by the last name of the YOUNGEST child. Parents should come to school within the assigned time range according to their youngest child's last name: June 1st 9:00-12:00 A-E June 1st 1:00-4:00 F-K June 2nd 9:00-12:00 L-P June 2nd 1:00-4:00 R-Z Please adhere to the following procedures for the pick-up/drop-off times. Mask must be wore when you come to the school: - Gather all library books, classroom books, and textbooks. Place all these items in one bag labeled with students' names and homeroom teachers - Gather device (Ipad or Chromebook), device case (Chromebook only) and charger. Remove all photos from the student's camera roll on the Ipads. Gently clean the device to remove dirt and particles. - Place a sign in your car window to indicate your family's last name (by youngest child) and place all items in your trunk. - On your assigned day and time, drive to the side entrance where the buses line up and open your trunk. Stay in your car and roll down your window. Someone will greet you. Your students' items will be placed in the trunk. After collecting your items from the side door, you will drive to the Common's entrance and open your trunk. Items will be removed from your trunk by the staff and we will place your child's art portfolio and yearbook in the trunk. We will hand you any ceramic creations. We will record that you dropped off the devices, cases, and chargers from your home. Make sure these items are returned so you are not charged for their replacement. End of Year Parade: In an effort to celebrate the students, staff, and families, Emmons will host a “reverse parade” on Tuesday, June 2nd at Emmons School. In our “reverse parade,” parents and students will drive by in their vehicles while staff, socially distanced, will wave at them. All participating staff will be present throughout the duration of the reverse parade from 5:00-6:00pm. Please follow the guidelines outlined below: DO NOT arrive before 5:00 so staff has time to access the parking lot. With the assistance of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, all vehicles will travel westbound on Beach Grove Road from Route 83 to enter the parking lot. Once in the parking lot you will follow traffic patterns through the bus lane. Following the parade, vehicles will be directed to exit by turning left (east)on Beach Grove. - Remain in your vehicle at all times. - Feel free to display signs and/or decorate your vehicle. - Be alert at all times while driving, including adhering to a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you. - Keep your car safely moving forward and do not stop unless necessary for the vehicle in front of you. - Do not exceed 10 mph while driving. - Do not bring items to give staff (including cards, signs, gifts, etc.). - Remember you will be in a Hands-Free Zone. If you’d like to take pictures it must be done by a passenger. Report Cards: Report cards can be accessed on June 4th through Infinite Campus. Instructions for retrieving report cards off of Infinite Campus are attached. The instructions will also be on the website.  Announcements
