UPDATED MASK MANDATE IN OPS

  • Our Board of Education approved an update to our face covering requirements. Masks will be optional in our schools beginning, Friday, Feb. 25, 2022. Those who wish to continue wearing a face covering are welcome to do so.

    It is important to note our other, layered health and safety precautions:

  • We encourage all eligible people to be vaccinated against COVID-19. This includes people due for a booster dose. We have hosted more than 175 vaccine clinics across our district. (More vaccine clinics are scheduled in the weeks ahead.). 
  • Enhanced disinfecting procedures will continue.
  • Students and staff must continue to stay home if they feel ill.
  • Isolation guidance following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis remains the same.
  • School communication to staff and families will continue.

  • It is also possible that future public health requirements or case clusters could require an individual classroom or school to temporarily wear face coverings again.

    We can all be proud of our district’s leadership throughout the pandemic. Focusing on health and safety, we have responsibly maintained in-person learning for students.

    Thank you for your partnership through this important time.

We are excited to share that Gateway will be using Seesaw for students in PK-6th grade this year! 

Each parent should have received a paper with instructions when they picked up their child's materials and iPad in August. The instructions listed steps for connecting to your child's classroom teacher.

Please make sure that you download the free app called Seesaw Parent and Family.

Important Safety Tips for Kids

  • In light of suspicious activity in neighboring school districts, please review the following safety tips with your children.
  • Don’t talk to strangers.
  • Don’t take anything from strangers.
  • Don’t go anywhere with someone you don’t know.
  • Stay more than an arm’s reach from strangers. If you are approached by a stranger, seek help immediately.
  • Trust your instincts, if you feel you are being followed or something is not right, seek help immediately.
  • Use the buddy system, avoid walking anywhere alone.
    Review contact telephone numbers and home safety practices.
  • When seeking help, always go to a trusted adult – teacher, coach, police officer, other parent, or older siblings.
  • If a stranger grabs you, do everything you can to stop him or her from pulling you away. Drop to the ground, kick, hit, bite, and scream. Do whatever it takes to attract the attention of others who can help you. If someone is dragging you away, scream, “this is not my dad,” or “this is not my mom.”
  • Report any suspicious activity to your local school and police department. 

 

Consejos Importantes de Seguridad Para Niños Peligro Extraño

 

  • No hablar con extraños.
  • No tomar nada de extraños.
  • No ir a cualquier parte con alguien que no conoces.
  • Permanecer más de alcance de la mano de cualquier extraño. Si se le acerca un extraño, busque ayuda de inmediato.
  • Confíe en sus instintos, si sientes que te están siguiendo o algo no está bien, busque ayuda de inmediato.
  • Utilice el sistema de compañeros, evitar caminar sola a ninguna parte.
  • Revisa los números de teléfono de contacto y práctica seguridad en el hogar.
  • Cuando busca de ayuda, siempre háblele a un adulto de confianza, profesor, entrenado, oficial de policía, otro padre, o hermanos mayores.
  • Si un extraño te agarra, hace todo lo posible para que él o ella te deje de agarrar. Caite al suelo, patea, golpea, muérdelo y grita. Hace todo lo posible para atraer la atención de otras personas que pueden ayudarte. Si alguien te está arrastrando, grita, "este no es mi papá", o " esto no es mi mamá. "
  • Reporte cualquier actividad sospechosa a su departamento de la escuela y la policía local.
