Good evening everyone!
Well, it is finally time for us to start the 2022-2023 School Year!!
School starts tomorrow morning with breakfast from 8:05-8:50, followed by everyone meeting in the gym for opening announcements. Classes start at 9:00am.
We are tentatively scheduled to have our annual start of the school year picnic on September 9th. We will once again have hotdogs and hamburgers, with chips and that all time astronaut’s favorite drink: Tang!! :)! More details on this event to follow.
We are looking forward to a wonderful school year working with your children!!Nacquq (Jim)
It is once again that time when all staff begin preparing for the start of a new school year!
At 8:15 tomorrow, the district will start its four day inservice. Monday and Tuesday will be for non-tenured teachers, followed by Wednesday and Thursday for tenured teachers. The 8:15 opening meeting is mandatory for all staff in Eloy’s room.
After the opening comments are completed around 9:00, the non-tenured teachers will break into their appropriate content groups. Classified staff will gather in the library with me for a short meeting.
Please be in the school building and in a seat so that we can all be on time for the start of this training.
See you tomorrow… Nacquq (Jim)

Just a reminder that at noon tomorrow (Thursday), we will be having our end of the year community picnic at the school. It will start at noon and consist of hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and Tang or water.
The water has been shut off on the West side and so the school is without running water, Which means no restroom facilities or water to wash dishes.
We will be dismissing students at 12:30. Hopefully water will be restored in time for our last day of school tomorrow. We will send out another announcement when we receive new information.

Monday is the big day!! We will be on Green schedule and therefore resume our regular school fay. :)
Masks will be required and temperatures taken of all who enter our building.
Enjoy the weekend!!
As the number of illness in the village is starting to drop, so we will be resuming our regular school day on Monday, February 21st.
We will remain on distance learning tomorrow (Friday). Meals will be served from 11:00-12:30.today we have the same meal pickup times. 11:00-12:30.
Closure will be until the 17th, not the 27th!
With COVID cases still increasing in the village, we feel that it is prudent to continue with distance learning through Thursday, February 27th,
Meals will continue to available for pickup from 11:30-1:00pm.
Just a reminder to everyone that we will be on distance learning at least through Tuesday. We will be watching to see if we are reversing the Covid trend in the village.
We will be having meals ready to be picked up between 11:30 and 1:00pm.
We do hope that we can resume our regular school hours on Wednesday!
Once again, if you or a family member is sick, coughing or just not feeling well, please stay home. Also mask up in public places and continue to sanitize commonly touched surfaces around the house.
As there are 19 active cases of the coronavirus in the village, eleven of which were recorded yesterday, including a staff member, we are going to continue to do distance learning through Tuesday. By then, most all of those currently on quarantine should be able to resume their normal activities, as long as they are masked up. We will decide on Tuesday afternoon whether we will resume face to face learning for the rest of the week.
The City is recommending that everyone limit contact with others and to follow the normal coronavirus safety procedures.
We will get through this pandemic together!
With two additional staff members contacting the Coronavirus, the school will not reopen until at least Monday. When we return to regular classes will depend on what the local COVID level is looking like this weekend. We will be watching the trend carefully. Meals will continue to be picked up between 11:30 and 1:00pm on weekdays.
We were hoping to have parent/teacher conferences this week, but instead, we will be sending out Semester grades either with meals or by mail.
Be watching for an update this weekend as to the status of school on Monday.
We will not have school until at least Friday because of the increase in the COVID-19 cases and other illnesses. Meals may be picked up between 11:30 and 1:00pm. We will will update you as we move forward.
