A Note from Dr. Reynolds
Welcome Back!
We have missed our children so much and are so glad to have everyone back at school after a refreshing Winter Break and a few snow days. I am including our previous communication about visitors in the building and also our inclement weather policy. We look forward to a great 2022.
Sumner County is experiencing a significant increase in COVID-19 positive tests due to the spread of the Omicron variant. As part of our mitigation efforts, all schools will be limiting visitors to schools until after January 17, 2022. During this time we will not be able to have lunch guests or parent volunteers in the classroom. For planning purposes we will need to postpone the Career Expo scheduled for Jan. 26th. We will look at possible options for rescheduling in the spring.
Bad Weather/Emergency Situations/Snow Days
In the event of an early dismissal, your child will be sent home the way they are scheduled. If you would like to change your child’s transportation, please call the front office. Check local TV/Radio news, the county’s Facebook page, and the county’s website at http://www.sumnerschools.org. SchoolCast messages will also be sent out by the school system. Parents should check with the front office staff if inclement weather messages are not being received. Inclement Weather Schedule On this schedule school will begin at 10:30 and dismiss at 3:30. The doors will open at 9:50 to accept students. Breakfast will NOT be served on this schedule. Burrus Sidekicks will communicate their hours with students and parents.
Thank you,
Dr. Reynolds
