Dear parent/guardians:

We are continuing to put plans in place to ensure the health and safety of our students, families, and community.  

A few items of importance that was communicated via Twitter, Facebook, and on the district webpage:

1. TODAY ONLY- Tuesday, March 17th-Essential Medication Pick-Up at Allendale

Parents can pick up medically essential items from Mrs. Amico between the hours of 11am-1pm today. If medication at school is “extra” and you do not need it, you may leave it at school. Again, this pick up is for medication that is essential for children.

Non-custodial adults picking up the medication must have a note and their ID to do so.

2. Drive-thru Food Service

All students ages 18 and younger will have access to breakfast and lunch items each day.  

Beginning this Wednesday, March 18th, this service will be available to our families via a drive-thru service at Winchester Elementary and Northwood Elementary Schools  from 11am-1pm, Monday - Friday. This service will be a “Grab and Go” system. No ID required. 

At this time, we have been working diligently to plan for medication pick up and ensuring that our students receive the meals and nutrition that they count on each day. Please continue to encourage your children to practice best hygiene practices, maintain social distancing, minimize online time and read every day. 

Further recommendations and instructions regarding school work and assignments will be forthcoming in the upcoming weeks. Again, read, read, read. 

Some other ideas: have your children practice math facts, encourage journaling (during these unprecedented times, getting thoughts and feeling out will be helpful for children), have your child help prepare meals at home, play board games, get outside if the weather permits, or perhaps clean and organize their rooms (We’re parents too. They can all benefit from this one). Those are just a few ideas. There are tons of ideas and free resources on-line. We will send more communication out as it becomes available to us. Take care and stay healthy! 

All the best,

Dr. Holly Quinn
