From the Principal
Please check out all the great updates and upcoming events shared below. We would love to have your input in the LEC survey and see you at our school committee meeting on Monday.
If you know anyone who is interested, our beekeeping series is filling up and starts in less than a month.
I had the privilege of sitting in on number corner in 2nd grade this week and listen to students share their observations, connections, thinking, and predictions. I was blown away by how eager students are to share, the diversity in their thinking, and the background knowledge they bring with them. This time is designed to nurture their curiosity and curiosity is what drives learning. Thanks to Miss Margaret, Mx Emerys, and our curious 2nd graders for letting me join in!

Winter Enrichment Information
For Skiers- We are encouraging snack outside whenever possible. Only students in the same grade may sit inside together with appropriate distancing. Unfortunately, family members cannot join grade tables for snack. I recognize this may feel extraordinary and your family may operate differently at home, but I appreciate your willingness to follow our protocols during this school event. Of course, families may enjoy snack together outside or at separate table inside. If you plan to keep your student(s) with you at the mountain after winter enrichment, please send a note in, call or email Ms. Lovett in the office. slovett@mtrsd.org
Snack schedule below:
Please Send Pre Packaged Snacks ONLY. Mini water bottles are great to have as well.
February 4th: 5th Grade
February 11th: Kindergarten
February 18th: Makeup Day - 1st Grade and 6th Grade
Please review mask-wearing expectations with your students. Masks must be worn indoors, on the buses, in the lift line, and on the chair lift. We will continue to keep students and grades adequately spaced during snacks and lunches. Our efforts to stay home when sick, maintain social distancing, wash hands frequently, and wear ours masks throughout this period help keep this decades-long tradition for the Hawlemont community going. Thank you for your contribution!

Health Office news from Donna Weber
Health Office news from Donna Weber:
With the highly transmissible Omnicon variant circulating, I HIGHLY suggest signing up for the weekly Covid-19 surveillance testing if you haven’t done so already. The link to sign your child up to be included in testing every Tuesday is:
“Pool” testing works by testing 6-10 swabs at a time. The people that provide the samples do not even have to be in the same room. Only the health office and District Nurse Leader, Donna Weber, are aware of who is in each vial (pool). If a “pool” ends up positive, all people in that pool are tested immediately with a rapid test in order to identify who is positive. If everyone turns out to be negative, everyone would be tested again the following day to confirm that it’s negative. We do not notify individuals when we have to test everyone from a pool, called reflex testing, because we typically need to do contact tracing from the identified positive. You would only be contacted if your child is positive or ends up being identified as a close contact. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Weber at dweber@mtrsd.org
