Dear 8th Grade Families,
We are so excited to welcome our 8th graders to the middle and upper campus this Wednesday, March 17 for a morning of building connections and community (both indoors and outdoors).
This day will be device-free—students will not need their laptops, nor books. We have scheduled handwashing/hand sanitizing and bathroom breaks at each transition point. Cohort groups will be assigned to specific bathrooms to use throughout the day.
To help prepare, please review the information below with your student. Attendance If you did not complete the survey (due March 9) letting us know if your student will be joining us, then your student will remain offsite for this day.
Students must complete COVID-19 testing prior to coming to campus Wednesday, and we need documentation of a negative test result before then. If your student tested at Wildwood last week, you do not need to submit test results. Otherwise, please provide documentation of a negative test result to 6-12covidinfo@wildwood.org no later than today, March 15.
Our schedule ensures that we can accommodate these onsite visits without impacting academic class time. Middle school students will be able to visit in the morning and then return home with plenty of time to join their B4 and B5 classes. UPDATED: Student Groupings and Drop-Off/Pick-Up Schedule Students have been divided into new groups (Group A, B, C, D, E) for this Visit Day. Click here for your student's new group and drop-off and pick-up schedule.
Students will be dropped off at staggered times. If you have students in different groups, please drop off both students during the earlier time slot. Students who are early will be instructed to stand outside, physically distanced, and will wait until their group is scheduled to come onto campus. During pick-up times, families who have two students in different groups should come at the later time. Before You Depart for Campus Click here for a checklist of reminders before departing for campus including reviewing the daily parent/guardian checklist, completing the wellness check, drop-off/pick-up procedures and placards, and what to pack with your student. Please reach out to me, Middle and Upper School Pandemic Coordinator Billy DuMone, or 6-12CovidInfo@wildwood.org with any questions.
We look forward to seeing your students!
Warmly,
Jaimi Boehm Director of Middle School Wildwood School |
