New Jerusalem Elementary School

Dear Falcon Families,

We had a successful return to school! Thank you for trusting our staff to keep your children safe and cared for. We made every effort to modify our practices and procedures to ensure we kept social distancing and washed hands a priority.

We made a few adjustments to our drop off and pick up plans after we observed the day.

Starting tomorrow:

* All grades are to drop off students at their staggered times at the front of school.

*All grades are to pick up at their staggered times at the front of school.

* All bus riders will report to the Bus Zone area to load busses.

* K-2 will dismiss to our Bus Zone area at 12:00 pm.

* Grades 3-8 will dismiss to our Bus Zone area at 12:15 pm.

* All busses will depart at 12:30 pm.

Thank you for all your support!

Mrs. Fracolli

Dear New Jerusalem Elementary Families,

Welcome Back! New Jerusalem Elementary School District applied for a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 6^th grade waiver with the San Joaquin County Public Health Services for the return of students to in-person learning. We are excited to share that we have received notification that the waiver has been approved! We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time as the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to directly impact the lives of our students, families, teachers, staff.

We are pleased to welcome all K through 6 grade students on campus beginning Tuesday, October 13^th for a modified school day and week, (see Daily Schedule). We will be following all of the State safety guidelines (see attached Safety Protocols for Students and Staff). The next planned step is for all 7^th and 8^th grade students to return on October 20^th.

Finally, we have families with multiple children spanning multiple grade levels. In order to accommodate those families, siblings will arrive and be dismissed at the same time as their youngest sibling. For example, a family with a K, 3^rd, and 5^th grade students will arrive and be dismissed at the Kindergarten time.

Working together, our team of professionals continue to be committed to providing our students with a learning environment that is not only rigorous and thoughtful, but delivered in a Safe, Kind and Fair manner.

Should you have any questions or concerns that you feel need to be addressed for your student(s) regarding academic or emotional support please feel free to contact the office and/or the teacher directly via email or by phone at 209-830-2597.

This packet includes the following information to assist you and the school as we reopen on October 13^th.
