Good afternoon IKCA Timberwolf Families!!

I hope you are as excited as I am for the next school year! Below are two links, one in English and one in Spanish with a video update. In addition, I have received many emails from parents regarding transportation and the lunch program.

Transportation Update: Schedules have been finalized and will be sent out tomorrow 7/30. You will be able to register your child at Open House. You will also be able to meet your child’s bus driver! Also, just an FYI students MUST wear a mask if riding our buses.

Lunch Program Update: Thank you to all the parents that have registered with SLA, our new lunch partner. Many parents have noticed that they cannot find their child in the registration process, this is due to the students not being uploaded yet into the system. The update will occur within the next week. Thank you for your patience

Welcome Timberwolf families to the 2021-2022 school year! We have been very busy this summer preparing for a wonderful year at our special school. 

As we begin our preparations for this year, I recognize that many questions still linger around our safety protocols related to COVID-19. In many ways, there are still several unknowns to this school year. CDC guidelines are changing often, and school boards all over the state are meeting regarding their protocols. My goal with our Timberwolf families is to always be as transparent as I can with you. I wanted to share what I DO know at this time. 

Face Coverings – Masks at Imagine Kissimmee will be optional for all students and staff in the building and on the playground areas. 

Face Coverings – Masks MUST be worn on ALL IKCA BUSES. 

Cleaning – Nightly hospital grade sanitization of classrooms will continue. Bus sanitization will take place on a smaller scale daily, and hospital grade weekly. High traffic areas will be cleaned frequently throughout the day. We will continue to  emphasize frequent handwashing and have hand sanitizer readily available all over campus. 

Temperature Checks – We encourage families to check student temperatures each day prior to arrival. We will NOT take 
temperatures daily for all students, only as needed. 

Contact Tracing – We will continue to be diligent in contact tracing through the use of seating charts. 

Student Collaboration – We are a school dedicated to collaboration and cooperative learning and we will be resuming these activities with the rigor of a normal school year. We see this as vital to student success, and also for social and emotional health. We love the WHOLE Timberwolf and we are eager and willing to partner with you again for whole child supports. 

Social Distancing – While this can be encouraged in some instances, with a campus at 100% capacity, social distancing will not be practical in most cases. 

Quarantine – If a student needs to quarantine, a student may do work at home, but they will not participate in a “live” classroom experience, but they will have work provided to them through the use of Google Classroom. 

Visitors on Campus/Volunteers – We are waiting on more guidance from the state in this area. At this time we are allowing volunteers back on campus this year, but please sign up with Mr. Estrada or Ms. Hernandez in the main office so we can limit the numbers of volunteers on campus. At this time, we are unsure about daily visitors on campus for things such as eating lunch with your child. We will update you when we have further guidance. 

Field Trips – We anticipate being able to resume normal field trips this year. We are so happy about this! 

As with all things COVID related, these protocols are subject to change as new information comes out. I will do my best to  keep you updated as we move forward together. The plans we have in place can be restructured to be more stringent if needed. The goal for our Timberwolves this year is to provide them an amazing school experience and to reconnect with our Imagine families. 

See you soon!
