A/B day students opting for food on the day they are NOT at school will receive it the day before and will bring it home in their backpacks. The program includes any child under the age of 18 so you may include younger siblings in the count.
The menu is not determined by SCS. The school's vendor lunch program is suspended until the free lunch program is dissolved (December 31st). Please send your child with a lunch if you are not opting for this program.
Second Quarter Input Survey:
Due by Wednesday, September 30
It's hard to believe we are quickly approaching the end of the first marking period. That also means it is time to revisit your options for how learning will take place for your child during the second quarter. Your responses to this survey are binding through the second marking period (October 11th- December 18th) because the logistics of fitting students in their classrooms at a 6' distance require accurate numbers.
We continue to receive questions about why Sigsbee is operating on an A/B Day schedule. Alternating days are in place because we are following the CDC guidelines and keeping students 6' apart in their classrooms; they simply all don't fit when at school at the same time. Currently, approximately 31.5% of students are matriculating in the 100% virtual format. We won't know if we can accommodate any more students on campus until this survey is completed by all parents and we can assess whether that number increases or decreases.
I know the staff is doing its very best to try to meet everyone's needs in the most effective way possible given the restrictions that are in place. The teachers are working long hours to keep connecting with students in class, students and home on alternating days and students who are 100% virtual. Everyone is in agreement that learning happens most efficiently and effectively when the students are in the classroom. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unusual time.
Remember, the school's website includes a reopening page that provides information about plans, CDC guidelines and school information.
