Week of September 21-25
Mason Dixon Elementary
Remote Learning Continues This Week!
We do however, anticipate that we will be starting our blended learning - in person instructional model sometime soon in the next few weeks. Help prepare you child for this return to school, practice having them wear their mask while completing remote learning tasks, remind them of social distancing practices and have them practice their handwashing skills. Discuss with them how bus rides will be different as buses will be loaded from back to front as students get on the bus (except pre-K will still sit in front) and students will be asked to sit with siblings or household members instead of their friends to maintain spacing. When they arrive at school remind them they will need to stay in their bus seat until the driver tells them it is their turn to stand and leave the bus.

Daily Health Self-Screening - Complete Every School Day!
Each day parents must complete a daily self screening for each of their children before entering the bus or attending school whether in person or online. *Please mark "student" not other on the first screen since you are filling our for a student. This link is at the top of the school and county websites and is also available on the Monongalia County App for your phone.

All staff fill out this form daily as well. Follow the instructions at the end of the screening if it tells you not to report to school or work. This is very important even during remote instruction to insure that students are able to receive access to health care...as we approach a return to school this is valuable information for the school health team. School nurses will start contacting those that are not completing the form daily.
Additional information is available on the School Health Covid-19 Tool Box located on the school website at this link.
