MORE FALL 2020 PROCEDURES
ABSENCES – We are asking parents this year to please email school instead of calling when your child will be absent by 8:30 a.m. Please direct your email to attendance@assumptionnj.org. Kindly indicate your child’s name and grade/class and reason for being absent. This will be checked by the nurse. Kindly avoid calling school.
FRONT DESK – For safety sake, when school starts we will not have anyone manning the phone/desk at the station in the lobby. Therefore, we are asking that you please arrange for your child’s way home before he/she leaves for school. If you must change the way your child is going home, please email the teacher prior to 12:30. We cannot guarantee that emails will be checked after 12:30. Please do not call school since we are trying to avoid going into classrooms. Teacher’s emails are on the website.
SCREEN TIME – for at home learners. The students will be online for all academic subjects. Their teachers will give them a schedule. When “in school” students have lunch, recess, breaks, gym, etc., the teachers computers will be turned off. We don’t want kids online all day.
AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES/PLAYDATES/WALKING INTO TOWN –Please make all arrangements for the above activities before coming to school each day. Kids are strongly discouraged from making phone calls for these activities.
EARPHONES – All students should bring earphones, ear buds or whatever they call them these days to school each day.
CROSS COUNTRY REGISTRATION
Registration for cross country (girls and boys in grades 3 through 8) is now open for children attending school in-person and children who are remote learners. A sufficient amount of adult volunteers will be required for us to go forward with the program. Please contact Mike Ashton (m.ashton@enduringinvestments.com) or Kevin Bopp (kevin_bopp@nylim.com) to volunteer or if you have questions.
Please register through our website, http://assumption-school.siplay.com/site/. The link can also be found on the Assumption School website, under the “Athletics” tab.
Unfortunately there will be no soccer this fall due to many of the schools that we usually play not offering fall sports. CYO plans on starting the basketball season in early January. This plan could change and we will update you as more information becomes available.
Please contact Kevin Bopp (kevin_bopp@nylim.com) with any questions.
