IMPORTANT SAFETY PROCEDURES TO KNOW
Teachers are not on duty at RES prior to 7:30 a.m. Any student dropped off before this time is unsupervised.
When coming through the pick-up/drop-off line each morning, have students exit the car on the passenger side of the car.
When dropping off/picking up your student, please do not move forward until your child and school staff is in a safe position.
Students are not released from the main office after 1:30 p.m. except in cases of emergency to help with the flow of traffic and to ensure the safe release of all students at the end of the day.
When entering the building, all visitors must sign-in in the office before reporting to anywhere else on campus.
The drop off gate will open at approximately 7:30 a.m. for morning drop off, be closed during the school day, and reopen at approximately 1:45 p.m. for end-of-the-day pick up.
If a student needs to do something different at the end of the day other than their usual routine, call before 12:30 p.m. and leave a voicemail in the child’s classroom. This gives teacher’s time to check messages each day and make arrangements before leaving for the buses.
Please know that your child’s safety and education is our top priorities.
What Parents Should Know About Remote Learning
At Robbinsville Elementary School
Log on to your Google Classroom to check for videos and assignments everyday.
Attendance for remote days will be based on completion of class assignments by the due date and not on a Google Form login.
Instructional videos/live stream lessons are being posted by teachers as necessary and should be viewed by students on any remote day that a video is posted. This is vital for students to understand assignments and to be prepared for class the next in person day. A video/live stream lesson may not always be posted for a remote day. The teacher may have an assignment posted for the day only.
Students with temporary loss of internet should contact the RES Office/Teacher. (This applies to students who normally have internet access.)
If the chromebook is not connecting to the internet at home the chromebooks needs to be updated at school. This can be done from the school in the school parking lot by connecting to the school wifi.
Students with no internet access need to make teachers aware so other arrangements for instruction and assignments can be made. Many times students will have access to download work and videos on face to face days to use on remote days.
Individual teachers will post office hours to their Google Classroom and the school website once those hours are set.
Students are responsible for completing all assignments on time/by due date.
Students are more successful when they have a schedule; they should try to login during their scheduled class time every day.
Parent Option: Parents can receive Google Classroom Notifications. If you are interested in this please email your child’s teachers.
Students who are only remote can switch to face to face after the first nine weeks. Decisions will be made at the administration’s discretion until that point.
