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
