Information on Policies

Q: How are students grouped into Pods?
A: We will separate students into pods by Grade/Ability level. Early grades (e.g. 1st and 2nd Graders) will be placed into the same pod. Students that live in the same household or that are part of an established social circle may also be placed together regardless of grade the prevent the spreading of COVID-19. You will be able to indicate your preference in your Enrollment package.
Q: How is carpool handled?
A: We will be using a Carpool app to handle carpool. Once you arrive, the app will alert us, and your child will be sent/escorted out to you. Please understand that we would like to avoid individuals from entering the building to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
