Picture Day

/in /by

Dear Dragon Families;

Picture Day is scheduled for Wednesday, April 21st. It is a DRESS UP day. No revealing clothing, no spaghetti straps, no torn pants or shorts, no sweatpants. A uniform is acceptable but we hope you take advantage of this opportunity to have your student dress up! Please note your student will be asked to change if their clothing fails to meet the above guidelines. If you need further clarification, please visit the handbook your student brought home. Once in front of the camera, students may choose to keep their mask on or off for the photo. Details for both in-person and remote students are below.

In-Person Students

School Photos for 21st Century Public Academy will be taken for students and staff doing in-person learning on Wednesday April 21st. All students will automatically be photographed with a fall “yearbook” close-up and a “Knee-up” spring photo. A proof will be returned to the school with your online code for ordering.

Remote Learning Students

In addition, KBP will have cameras set up for virtual learning students to go in and take their school photos from 11:30 to 12:30. You can book an appointment to come to the school from 11:30am to 12:30 am on the 21st. Photos will be in the gym.

All remote learning students must make an appointment to avoid large crowds and properly social distance.

Visit https://www.kennethbrownphotography.com/21st-century-academy-april-21st to book your appointment today. You will receive an online code to view and order photos after picture day.

For the remote students, PARENTS PLEASE PARK ON CUTLER AVE(not the parking lot or Dragon Lane.) Then the student and up to 1 adult will walk along the sidewalk on Dragon Lane up to the east gym entrance. Your remote student/students will enter the gym through the east gym entrance (glass doors) and exit out the back of the gym to head back to their parents’ cars.

Sign In Procedures / Testing

/in /by

Parents and Guardians,

Testing week is off to a great start! Your students are putting forth a wonderful effort to do well.

A few procedures:

Parents, it is very important that you sign in your students when they arrive after 8:15AM. We continue to screen students for COVID symptoms upon arrival. If they do not pass the screening they will have to go home. Our nursing staff is working hard to keep our school community safe!

If your student is experiencing COVID symptoms, please keep them home. Common symptoms are upset stomach, headache, runny nose, coughing, and fever. If your student does have to go home, you will get a call from our nurse. We continue to follow the DOH/PED decision making process for symptomatic students.

Allergies are common this time of year. If your student suffers from chronic allergies, please have their primary care doctor fax or email a note to the office so the nurse can place it in their file. If you have any questions please call our school nurse.

Thank you for your cooperation to keep our community healthy and our kids in school!

Hello Wonderful Dragon Families!

We did it! Our first week back for face to face learning and remote instruction is complete.
A few reminders!

Please have a conversation with your child about being COVID safe! Maintain 6 feet of distance or more when possible, especially when eating and at dismissal. They are doing a great job with mask wearing!

Prior to arriving at school, please take your student’s temperature and ask:
Are you experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19? Fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of smell or taste, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea?
If they are, please have the student stay home. It is recommended that you contact your child’s doctor. Students are also screened at school when they arrive

When driving up to the school for pick up, please slow down to pull all the way forward following the duty staff signals. We want to keep our kids safe!

Our Cutler Ave. businesses have asked- please do not park in their lots or block their driveways. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors!

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we get back to school. Have a wonderful weekend!
