Lawrence Kindergarten

Estimadas familias de ECC, Mientras persiste el estrés de COVID, quiero asegurarles que estamos tomando precauciones muy en serio en nuestra escuela. El lema de nuestro distrito es usar su máscara, lavarse las manos y cuidar su distancia. Además, le agradecemos por completar el cuestionario de salud diario que se monitorea todos los días a medida que los estudiantes llegan para recibir instrucción en persona. Como recordatorio al completar el cuestionario de salud, su hijo/a debe permanecer en casa si está enfermo, ha estado en contacto cercano con alguien que dio positivo en la prueba de COVID o si recibió una prueba de COVID positiva. Si su hijo/a tiene un hermano en otro edificio o alguien en la familia está experimentando síntomas o ha dado positivo en la prueba de COVID, le pedimos que mantenga a su estudiante en casa. Comuníquese con la escuela para fines de asistencia. Los estudiantes pueden seguir participando de forma remota desde casa. Ya sea que su hijo/a esté programado para asistir a la escuela híbrida, azul o dorada, o todos los días, debe asistir al aprendizaje en persona según lo programado, a menos que esté enfermo o alguien de la familia esté enfermo. Para aquellos estudiantes remotos, es importante iniciar sesión diariamente para recibir instrucción, ya que estos primeros años escolares son imperativos para todo aprendizaje futuro. Continuamos agradeciéndole por su apoyo mientras navegamos el año escolar y hacemos que este sea un éxito para todos nuestros estudiantes. Mantente seguro y saludable!

Dear ECC Families, As COVID stress lingers on, I want to reassure you that we are taking precautions very seriously in our school. Our district motto is wear your mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance. In addition, we thank you for completing the daily health questionnaire which is monitored each day as students arrive for in-person instruction. As a reminder when completing the health questionnaire – your child is to remain home if he or she is sick, has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID or if they have received a positive COVID test. If your child has a sibling in another building or anyone in the family is experiencing symptoms or have tested positive for COVID, we ask that you keep your student home. Please contact the school for attendance purposes. Students can continue to participate remotely from home. Whether your child is scheduled to be in school hybrid, blue or gold, or every day, he or she should attend in person learning as scheduled unless he or she is sick or someone in the family is sick. For those remote students, it is important to log on daily for instruction as these early school years are imperative for all future learning. We continue to thank you for your support as we navigate the school year and make this successful for all our students.

Some Lawrence staff , identified as NYS group 1A , have started to get the vaccine. This is very good news and we anxiously await vaccines being made available to our teachers, staff, children, and families. I’m pretty certain we all want one of these “ proof of COVID vaccination cards”.

Lawrence’s first vaccination! Nurse Susan Brooks from Lawrence Middle School proudly displays her vaccination band-aid and says “ We can do this America!” Today the county opened up vaccination for school nurses. We are delighted to see this process begin.
