I am always in awe of this school community. It has not been pleasant feeling like the Grinch as we move through being COVID safe here at the school. When I share updates as to what we are doing, what needs to be done and even making you aware of every little change up in the school even if everyone is safe, I think to myself, I will get pushback or inquisitions. Never. Never. Never. Families thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling the office to keep us updated about your children’s health, your travel plans, and general awareness about visitors from out of town of whom your children were exposed to over time. I know you hear this from me all of the time. But it can never be said enough. You are the reason the school is able to “Rock and Roll” staying safe and open with face to face instruction. Thank you from all of us who work in the school. Your support makes all of us want to stay the course and remain face to face until June. We have Virtual Fridays in our pocket too. This allows us to be ready for any mandates. It also keeps your children in step with their peer group functioning in online instruction.
One new mention to share with you around visitors coming to stay with you. They will need to have a negative COVID test before visiting. That will assure you that your children are safe for returning to school. If they do not receive a COVID test your children will need to follow the school’s Travel Restriction Policy.
