front drive (entrance on Oyster Creek) from 8:00a-12:00p and 1:00p- 4:00p on both days. There will be minimal personnel on these days, so the wait time may be longer than usual.

This is just a reminder to incoming 7th grade parents that you
must send in immunization records to the school nurse
prior to the first day of school.
This applies to all students, virtual and face-to-face. This can be done by fax: 979-292-2804,

Backpacks
Students will need to carry class supplies and items with them throughout the day, as lockers will not be issued this year. Backpacks or zipper binders should not impede hallways, walkways in classrooms, or be so cumbersome as to impede a student’s ability to get to class. Items should be able to comfortably be placed under student desks or chairs. Items should not be larger than 17” height X 13” width X 9” depth. Students should be able to easily carry their backpack from room to rooms. Rolling backpacks are not permitted. We encourage students to have a zipper binder, instead of a backpack, as it can easily hold all supplies.
Water Bottles
Water fountains will be only used for students to refill water bottles. Bringing a water bottle is encouraged. Water bottles must be transparent (like a Nalgene bottle), so administration can easily see the liquid inside. Only water is allowed in the water bottle (no energy drinks, sports drinks, soda, etc.).
Athletics
Parents, all athletic paperwork is now being kept electronically other than the physical and medical history form. Please register your son/daughter on the Rank One website and fill out the necessary forms for your child to be eligible to participate in sports. The directions (Rank One Account Set-up)are attached. The physical and health history forms are the only two papers that need to be physically turned in to the coaches. LJI after school try-outs/practices will begin September 8. If you are a virtual student, you will need to be dropped off in the back drive (entrance on Oak Drive) at 3:45p. Please do not drop off students any earlier.
Athletic tryouts and after school practice will begin September 8. More information will come in the coming weeks from our coaches.
Visitor Restrictions
To limit exposure, informal campus visits will be restricted. (including during meal time). Campus visitors will be limited to those essential for school operations. Before visitors are allowed onto campus, he/she will be screened to determine if he/she has been in close contact with an individual who has COVID-19 symptoms, or are lab-confirmed with COVID-19, and if so, he/she must remain off campus until he/she meets the criteria for reentry. When practical, screenings may be supplemented with temperature checks. Essential meetings will be done by appointment or through a virtual format. To ensure the safety of students and staff, no outside food deliveries will be accepted (i.e. food, gifts, doordash, etc.). Until further notice, the use of field trips to enhance the educational experience will be postponed. Until further notice, there will be no large student assemblies
