Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you and your family feeling well and doing well. I truly appreciate the hard work and expanded role in education that parents have taken on this spring. Your partnership has never been more essential. I am encouraged by the resilience of our students and our community's dedication to learning, despite very difficult circumstances.
With the decision to close schools for the remainder of the year, we are busy working through the list of things we need to complete. One important task is returning your child's personal items. This week, teachers are collecting and labeling children's classroom supplies and materials. We are getting ready to have families come to school to pick up these things – safely and without contact.
This pick up will also be an opportunity to return Library books. There will be a bin for this purpose set up on the pick-up days. We will have additional days for dropping off classroom materials, instruments and technology. If you cannot make it on your assigned day, or do not feel comfortable coming to the campus, please email bfiore@briarcliffschools.org Other arrangements can be made as needed.
On your assigned pick up day, parents may enter the campus and turn right at the security booth, following the road to the main entrance at the front of the building. As you pull up to the front of the car line, please share your child's name and we will bring bags of items out to your car. Pop your trunk and we will place them inside – please do not get out of your car or have contact with anyone. Kindly print your child's full name in large letters on a sheet of paper so we can clearly see it when you pull up.
To manage traffic flow, we ask you to follow the schedule below. If you cannot make it at your assigned time, please email bfiore@briarcliffschools.org to arrange a different date or time and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
