Dear STrEaM Families,

October always seems to fly by, and we have reached November!

Next week there is no school on Thursday, November 11th to honor the veterans who have bravely served our country.

Lunch at STrEaM

So far this year, we have had outdoor lunch school-wide. Being outdoors is one of the greatest mitigators for spread of infectious disease, due to fresh, open air and plenty of space for distancing. However, the weather is turning colder, so I want to share our plan moving forward.

Each lunch room supervisor has the following options:

Take their group outdoors for 30 minutes
Eat lunch with desk shields in the classroom for 15 minutes, then go outdoors 15 minutes
Eat outdoors for the first 15 minutes, returning to the classroom for the last 15 minutes
Eat lunch indoors all 30 minutes (desk shields until all students finish eating)

If a student is in a lunchroom that is outside for the full 30 minutes on a cold day, they can request to go to an indoor lunchroom and their lunch supervisor will radio to find open space.

We are an outdoor school, and we will continue going outside for breaks, PE, lunch and class activities throughout the year. Students must come dressed for the weather.

Health & Safety

As we move towards winter and it gets darker outside, it is so important for walkers and bikers to wear reflective clothing and safety gear. Drivers, be cautious and watch for students on foot or wheels when you are picking up or dropping off.

Other Health and Safety notes:

We go outside every day, including PE, breaks and lunch. Students must have appropriate outdoor gear for the weather
Keep ASD Symptom Free: Stay home & get tested if experiencing ANY symptoms
Masks required indoors, optional outside
