Arrival and Departure Procedures: Thank you for your patience and understanding of the arrival and departure procedures at The Ranch. Our doors and gates open at 7:25 A.M. There will be no adult supervision prior to that time. Students will be directed in to the school by staff to walk to their assigned section, corresponding to their classroom number, on the blacktop. Lower grade students: transitional kindergarten (tk), kindergarten (k), first (1^st), second (2^nd), special education (SpEd), and students who eat a school breakfast may be dropped-off and picked-up at the front of the school. Bicycle riders and walkers may also enter the school through the front door. Upper grade students; third (3rd), fourth (4th), and fifth (5th) may be dropped-off and picked-up at the back of the school. An older sibling of a student in a lower grade (e.g. 1st, or 2nd) will be permitted to join her/him and be picked-up at the front of the school. You may assist us by writing your students’ first and last name, and their teacher’s name, on a piece of paper and placing it on your vehicle’s windshield (passenger-side) to facilitate a safe departure of students. Please observe all safety guidelines, traffic flow and control signs, and adults helping to maintain a safe and orderly environment during student arrivals and departures. A parent arrival and dismissal area has been designated at the front of the site for those who walk their students to school. Please do not escort your students through the parking lot.  There are moving vehicles present in the arrival and dismissal lane that may pose a hazard to students.  Use crosswalks and sidewalks for pedestrian traffic.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Student Daily COVID-19 Symptoms Check:  Students who are not feeling well or are showing any COVID-19 symptoms before the start of school are required to stay home.  Parents are required to perform a daily symptom check at home, including a temperature check, before sending their student to school.  For the safety of all students, sick or ill students cannot remain on campus.  Therefore, a parent must provide one or more local contact numbers of an individual(s), over the age of 18, who will be available to pick up the student in the event of an illness or injury. Any student who demonstrates or complains of any COVID-19-like symptoms will need to be picked-up by a parent, guardian, or an “emergency” contact adult immediately.  Common COVID-19 symptoms include:

Take steps to protect yourself

Clean your hands often

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and other people

Take steps to protect others

Stay home if you’re sick

• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.

Cover coughs and sneezes

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
• Throw used tissues in the trash.
• Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Wear a facemask if you are sick

• If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room.

• If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

Clean and disinfect

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
• If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
