2020-2021 October Return to School Selection Survey: Face to Face or Virtual

9/21/2020

Beginning October 5th, parents have two options for their students enrolled in EBRPSS:

1. 100% Virtual: Students will attend school virtually only. Students choosing this option will not attend school in-person during the remainder of the first semester (ending December 18th).

2. Face-to-Face: Students will attend school face-to-face Monday- Friday each week.

Please complete this survey no later than Sunday, September 27th. Accurate numbers are important to facilitate planning for a safe return to school for all face-to-face students, faculty, and staff.

EBR Announces PHASE III PLan

Phase III Press Release

Carpool Information

9/11/2020

In response to COVID Safety Guidelines, we have had to adjust our carpool procedures to avoid having a large number of students congregating in the gym. We are using Silent Dismissal, which is an automated system that allows students' names to appear on the screen in their classroom when they have been called.

Parents can let us know they are here to pick up their students by using the Silent Dismissal App. To register, you will need the QR code that can be found on the carpool information that was picked up today. There is a short video showing you how to download and use the app linked below.

Please read the document attached below very carefully. There have been changes to Acadian Thruway and it is imperative that all parents are aware of the changes. Most importantly:

1. There is only one entrance into the BRCVPA parking lot. This means that we cannot allow cars to sit or park in the circle driveway until carpool begins at 8:00 a.m. for arrival, and 3:20 p.m. for dismissal. DO NOT ARRIVE PRIOR TO 8:00 AM FOR MORNING CARPOOL, AND PRIOR TO 3:20 PM FOR AFTERNOON CARPOOL. PARENT/GUARDIAN VEHICLES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER. The entrance needs to remain open for Extended Day parents to drop off their children, and for Faculty, Staff, and Buses to enter the parking lot. Please note that any carpool cars trying to enter the circle drive before carpool begins will be asked to exit and return after carpool begins.

2. Please display your carpool tag in your front window. (Even if you use the app and your name has already been entered, we will need the carpool tag to be present in the window until your child is loaded so we can locate your car to load your child. Please do not take your carpool tag out of the window until your child has been loaded.

*Please read the flyer below, and view the carpool diagram so you understand what to expect. Thank you for your patience and understanding!*
