Good evening, Everyone
We have had additional COVID-19 cases over the weekend, including at least one confirmed staff member and possibly one other.
If you get a positive reading for the coronavirus, five days of quarantine are required, plus masking up for another five days.
If symptoms are still present after five days of quarantine, please do not return to school even with a mask.
As was stated last week, if you do not feel comfortable sending your children to school with the number of virus cases still increasing, we understand totally.
There is in excess of 20 cases of Coronavirus amongst our staff and our students.
We are requiring all of our students and staff to social distance themselves from others and are strongly encouraging everyone to wear masks while in the school building. Deep cleaning of the school is also taking place daily.
Any parent who wishes to keep their children home during this outbreak may do so.
Hopefully, this will be a short lived event and we can once again get back into a coronavirus free environment!
With three confirmed COVID cases within our staff, I feel that we should go on an official mask optional status. This will be in effect until further notice.
The District Policy is that anyone who tests positive for COVID 19 is to quarantine for five days and wear a mask for at least 5 additional days. Nacquq (Jim)
Students will be taking the Winter MAPS Assessments this week, starting on Tuesday, so we encourage you to have your children get extra sleep. Please encourage them to put forth their best possible efforts when taking the assessments.
The assessment results help us to determine how students are performing in Language Arts, Math, and Science. The results lets our teachers see what adjustments need to be made, if any, to the subjects that they are teaching.
Thank you, Nacquq
Well, after a long break, it is time to head back to school tomorrow. We will be on our regular schedule.
On Friday, we will be having an inservice day for all of our staff. There are some new District Policy and curriculum changes that we need to become familiar with before we can start implementing them. We will
Also be reviewing your students MAP Assessment scores so that we can adjust the grade level curriculum to help lower the student achievement gaps
We want to wish all of you a happy upcoming new year! Nacquq (Jim)
It is hard to believe that Christmas Break is only a day away! That also means that it is time for our annual community Christmas celebration at the school!
The festivities will start at 7:00pm tomorrow evening, with classes doing a variety of songs and skits. Those will be followed by Santa Claus arriving to hand out candy canes and fruit ( his elves are working hard tonight to ensure that the apple and orange supply line is functioning properly).
We are looking forward to a fun-filled evening for all who attend.
On Friday, we will be dismissing students at 1:30, so that the staff can get their classrooms and the building ready for the break.
Because of the projected work on the gym floor, in order to have it ready for basketball season, the gym will be closed to the public during the break.
We are also wanting to get the gym equipment set up in the new fitness center over the holidays, as we plan on having a fitness class for 9th and 10th graders next semester. The second semester starts on January 5th, which will be our first day back to school after Christmas break.
We we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Just a reminder that there will be a family literacy night from 7:00-8:00 tonight. We will be in the library. Students in grades pre-k- 5th grade need to be with a parent to attend. There will be a read aloud and reindeer antler relay. We look forward to seeing you here! :)
We will be dismissing students at 1:30 today, instead of 2:00, as we have a 2 hour inservice this afternoon for all staff.
We just received permission to dismiss earlier than usual because of the start time of the event.
Enjoy your weekend.. Nacquq ( Jim)
The literacy night scheduled for tonight has been postponed until next Thursday night because of so many students being sick,
We look forward to seeing you all next Thursday night! Nacquq (Jim)
Photo proofs have arrived and may be picked up at the office any time during normal school hours.
Tomorrow we will be on our Friday early out schedule. Classes will be dismissed at 2:00pm. There will not be any Fun Friday activities, as we will be having an all staff meeting at 2:30.
I want to wish everyone a Happy and a safe Thanksgiving! Nacquq (Jim)
