PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING BEFORE FRIDAY:

  2. Download the Raptor app to your phone
  3. Register for the Read-in event using the QR code provided on Monday, March 2 or click here: https://events.raptortech.com/registration/182a2e06-63cb-492b-bf05-f9a0e54cf054/d562d049-77a9-4e01-9f56-72dbc8cb6f38?fbclid=IwY2xjawQUL8lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFKSktkWXgxOTZGUlVubTNjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuSxMOe34yxEnRlxtD_OE_VxC2tGOcsQqTL5GUsNZWhjdoVhrqeg-rkLfVR5_aem_5R9qlvfyQnvUt8XKLUj3-g
  4. Add the Read-in event ticket to your Raptor app

 

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Directions can be found here: RaptorEventSafe_RegisterCheckIn_ForVisitors
    • Volunteers will be available outside at dismissal Monday-Thursday this week to help parents/caregivers take the steps above.
    • A hard copy of the QR code and reminders of the tasks will be sent home in students’ backpacks.
    • The office team is available at any time to talk parents/caregivers through the process if needed. Just call (203-255-8328) or stop by. 
  • There will be an "express lane" set up for anyone who has both downloaded the QR code AND added the event to the app.
    • Doing it on the app verifies you ahead of time and saves time letting you just scan and go. (Think Disney Fast Pass!)
  • Those who do not download the QR code AND add the event to the app in advance will need to wait in line to sign in with the Raptor iPad. This could delay visitors in arriving at classrooms and result in less time reading with students.
    • If you do not add your ticket to the Raptor app, you will need an ID, even with a ticket. 
  • Families with multiple students in K-2 or 3-5, may bring an additional caregiver/loved one/special adult and/or contact students’ classroom teachers to work out a plan.
    • Please be sure all additional visitors also have taken the 4 steps above BEFORE FRIDAY.
  • Thank you in advance for making alternate arrangements for younger siblings in order to be present while reading with your student.
  • If you do not have strong cell service at the school, SWITCH TO THE SCHOOL Wi-Fi ASAP WHEN YOU ARRIVE. Use the QR code posted outside the main entrance to access the Wi-Fi.

 

On Friday, March 6:

  • Sign-in will begin 30 minutes before the events:
    • 9:30 AM event - sign-in begins at 9:00 AM
    • 10:15 AM event - sign-in begins at 9:45 AM
  • All visitors who sign in early will wait in the APR until the start time of the event. 
    • Teachers and staff will be going through their arrival procedures and preparing for visitors. Please do not go directly to your students’ classrooms when you arrive.
  • SEL Information sessions will occur concurrently to the Read-In event. 
    • All parents/caregivers of students in grades K-5 are encouraged to attend. 
    • The sessions will cover our approach to Social Emotional Learning with students in K-5, some of the brain science underlying the approach, and the skills we are focusing on, tools we are introducing, and strategies we are reinforcing.
    • Slides will be shared after the presentations for parents/caregivers who are unable to attend.
