As the Pandemic approaches two years, we are happy to announce that as of today, Monday, February 28th Sacred Heart Villa will welcome our families back into our building with dropping off and picking up their child. The teachers and administration have missed seeing the families come into our building. We have all felt a disconnect during this time.
What does this mean for parents, grandparents, and guardians? All adults will be wearing masks when they enter the building through the Wilson door. They will first stop at the front desk and enter their pin number on the iPad, then proceed to the child’s classroom, first putting their belongings in their locker, and then finally walk their child to their classroom door. After hugging their child goodbye, the parent can leave and exit through the Wilson entrance.
We realize we have some parents with a newborn in the car or there may be a grandparent who is not comfortable coming into the building. If this is the case, these families can call the school office once they have pulled up to the curb on Wilson at 314-771-2224. Our dedicated arrival person will be there to assist parents or grandparents in the morning. She will meet you at the front door and take your child to their classroom, as we have been doing these past months.
What does this mean for dismissal? The parent or guardian will enter the building wearing a mask and go to the office window to let the attendant know who they are picking up. The parent or grandparent will proceed to the classroom to pick up their child and their personal belongings. If it is a kindergarten child, the office will call that classroom and the child will proceed downstairs on their own. If the child’s class is outside, the office attendant will contact the teacher and our dedicated PM assistant will bring the child to the office. Once the parent or grandparent has the child/children, they will sign-out the child using the iPad.
It is important that we do not create congestion in the front foyer or on the elevator. If a parent is able bodied, please use the stairs.
An entry card will be activated for the mother and father to use at the Wilson entrance during times of arrival and dismissal. All other adults will use the buzzer. Individual programmed entry card fobs will go home on Wednesday of this week.
The Sacred Heart Villa staff and administration welcome our families back inside of our building! We can’t wait to see our families in person!
