Siebert Elementary School

Regarding Stadium capacity at Maverick Stadium: As many of you know, one of the covid 19 safety precautions is limited spectator capacity at all UIL events. During regular competitions limited tickets will be purchased, in advance, in an effort to assist us in meeting the capacity expectations. However, we do have several scrimmages scheduled, in all areas of competition, in which the same restrictions are in place but we will not be selling tickets. We ask if your child is not competing please allow for family member(s) of the student athletes to have priority attendance. At our home scrimmages administrators will be monitoring capacity. We are limited to every other row and 6 feet between family groups. Please comply with the request made by the staff in an effort to meet the guidelines. UIL has made it clear, failure to comply with the guidelines could result in cancellation of home games or cancelation of a season. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. James Morton - Athletic Director Eastland ISD

Reminder: Unfortunately, this year there will not be a “Meet the Teacher” as we traditionally have had. With PreK-1st having an opportunity the day that they come with their parents to see their classroom and teacher, we did not want our 2nd through 5th grade students to feel uneasy about their first day. We will be having a Virtual Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 17th for 2nd through 5th grades. Two times will be available for you to choose from. You may choose to participate at 5:00 or 5:20 using the same link. We are encouraging parents to join with their child in the meeting using Google Meet.

Siebert Elementary School Brandon Chesser, Principal Beverly Johnson, Assistant Principal 100 Little Maverick Trail Eastland, Texas 76448 Phone (254) 631-5080 ~ Fax (254) 631-5085 Parents, As we look forward to starting a new school year, I would like to thank you for your support and understanding over the past five months. This school year is going to be great, and the teachers are looking forward to having students back in the classrooms of Siebert Elementary. I am writing to inform you of what will be taking place during the upcoming week. Siebert will be having a staggered start to the year, which is as follows: Wednesday August 19th - 5th & 3rd grade ONLY (full school day with normal drop off) Thursday August 20th - 4th & 2nd grade ONLY (full school day with normal drop off) Friday August 21st - PreK/HeadStart/EE, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade ONLY Our little ones will be walked by their parents to class to meet their teacher and see their classroom. All individuals entering the building will participate in temperature checks. Times will be staggered to keep a limited number of parents in the building at one time. The schedule is as follows and is based off the first letter of the student’s LAST name: A - F 8:00 - 9:00 G - M 9:00 - 10:00 N - S 10:00 - 11:00 T - Z 12:00 - 1:00 On Friday, August 21 st , after the students meet their teacher and have time to see their classroom, they will leave with their parents. Students participating in online instruction will follow the same staggered start schedule as above and will be meeting with their teachers virtually on their designated days. On Monday, August 24 th , all face-to-face instruction students will come to school and normal drop off will take place in the front. Online students will begin their full daily schedules virtually as well. Unfortunately, this year there will not be a “Meet the Teacher” as we traditionally have had. With PreK-1st having an opportunity the day that they come with their parents to see their classroom and teacher, we did not want our 2nd through 5th grade students to feel uneasy about their first day. We will be having a Virtual Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 17th for 2nd through 5th grades. Two times will be available for you to choose from.

To continue to minimize exposure and to keep that number low, we have our cafeteria tables spread out over the cafeteria and small gym (3rd, 4th, & 5th). For the 1st Six Weeks, through September 25th, the following will apply : ● One grade level will be in the cafeteria or small gym at a time. ● No food deliveries during the day. Students will need to bring their lunch or get lunch in the cafeteria. ● No visitors for lunches. All tables and chairs will be used for students to safely eat. Again, this is through September 25th and will be reevaluated after we have had an opportunity to see what the process will look like and help students establish a routine. ● If you wish to eat lunch with your student for special occasions, please check out your student for lunch. Other information: ● Delivering birthday cupcakes and outside food will not be permitted at this time. ● Campus visitors will be limited. Visitors will be expected to complete the required health screening. Visitors who are screened and proceed beyond the reception area will follow specific guidelines for visitors. ● Parents will drop students off or say goodbye at the door. ● Refer back to the Eastland ISD Back to School Safety Procedures that were posted a couple of weeks ago. ● Call or email myself or Mrs. Johnson with any questions or concerns. bchesser@eastland.esc14.net or bjohnson@eastland.esc14.net Last thoughts: The start to this school year is unusual and far from traditional. We, just like you, wish that everything was back to “normal” and we were having our traditional Meet the Teacher and business as usual, but know that all decisions are made with your child’s best interest at heart. By following the guidelines set forth by TEA, we hope to keep the doors of Siebert open throughout the entire school year. I know there will be points of frustration, and I ask that you reach out to me at any time, but I believe what we have put together, in coordination with parents, teachers, and community members, gives our students a great opportunity at being successful back in a safe learning environment that meets the guidelines set forth by TEA. You are ready, we are ready, and more importantly our students are ready to be back to school, and we are looking forward to an unusual but phenomenal back to school. Thank you and God bless, Brandon Chesser Principal Siebert Elementary

Siebert Parents, This year we will be doing registration different from in years past. We will be completing registration online through the parent portal site to maintain safety and follow TEA guidelines. Some parents at the elementary level use Parent Portal to access their child’s grades and those parents will need to log on, go to the summary page, and click registration under their child’s name. Many have not used parent portal before and will need to create a new account to be able to complete online registration. Here are steps to follow when registering: 1. Go to the following link. https://pp.txeis14.net:8443/ParentPortal/login?distid=067903 2. Select "create account” 3. Create a username and password. 4. Put in your email address and phone number. Use the same email that you have given the school in the past. 5. Once you do this, it will send you an email to verify the email address. Follow the instructions on that email. 6. Once you are on, to add your student you will need their parent portal ID and birthday. Your child's homeroom teacher will have the parent portal ID and the email address that is listed in our TxEIS system. 7. After you add them, click on registration underneath their name. After you complete a form, it is important that you select "save" before selecting "next form." If you have a student that will be new to the district, you will click on the same link but you will need to scroll down to the bottom left where is says “New Student Enrollment” and click “Create Account” and follow the steps. Teachers have begun reaching out and giving parents information on email address and parent portal id for the child. Any other questions or issues please feel free to email Mrs. Thayer cthayer@eastland.esc14.net , Mrs. Johnson bjohnson@eastland.esc14.net, and Mr. Chesser bchesser@eastland.esc14.net or call 254-631-5080. Please complete by May 29. Thank you for your patience and working with us through the online registration process.

Eastland ISD will be closed on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 due to the threat of inclement weather and a high number of absences due to illness. All activities on Wednesday have been cancelled. Activities scheduled for Tuesday night will proceed as scheduled. The National Weather Service upgraded its weather advisory for Eastland County from a Severe Weather Watch to Severe Weather Warning at approximately noon today. The forecast includes sleet and snow accumulations from 2” to 4” beginning at midnight through 6 pm CST on Wednesday. In addition to the possibility of hazardous road conditions, Eastland ISD staff will be thoroughly disinfecting all three of its campuses which have seen a high number of absences by both students and staff. There is no decision regarding the possibility of closure or delay to the start of school on Thursday at this time. Eastland ISD officials encourage parents and the community to be cautious on the roadways and to attend to any illness that students may have. Thank you, EISD Administration
