Dear Families,
On Monday, Dr. Brabrand shared more information regarding In-Person learning, including the updated CDC guidance which will allow schools the opportunity to transition from 6 feet to 3 feet social distancing, thereby possibly providing more days of In-Person instruction.
You can read Dr. Brabrand’s full message at:

We are committed to bringing back as many of our in-person students to four days of instruction as our capacity restraints allow, beginning with students identified by our school staff through the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) process. Please be aware, however, that a variety of factors prevent us from expanding as far as we would like to do immediately, and our current classroom capacities may prevent us from expanding the option to all students who would like to return. We need time to work out the details regarding space and staffing, such as the continued requirement for students to eat meals (breakfast, snack and lunch) at 6 feet apart. We must continue to adhere to all of the CDC regulations and FCPS guidelines for furniture, transportation changes, classroom setup and scheduling changes.
Please be patient as we work through the updated guidance to see if we are able to shift additional in-person students to four day instruction in the near future, recognizing that we may not be able to honor four days for all grade levels or in every classroom within a grade level due to the factors shared above.
Should our capacity guidance allow your child to return to school for four days each week, our school staff will reach out to you. Please know that we are proactively working to accommodate as many students as possible and there are no actions you need to take at this time in order for your child to be considered for four days of in-person instruction. If you have questions or need additional information regarding the process, please feel free to email Mr. Thomason or myself and not the teachers.
We are excited to continue working with each family to engage and encourage our students, while keeping everyone safe.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Dr. Pamela Simpkins, Principal
Mr. Travis Thomason, Assistant Principal
