MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
I want to express my highest respect and appreciation to our country's health care workers. It was powerful to see critical care staff receive the first U.S. vaccines this week. These heroes inspire us by selflessly caring for those with the greatest medical needs. I also believe they will inspire our students to become the future health care workers and scientists.
We want to encourage you to follow the health guidance from Thurston County Health.
- Wear face coverings in public
- Wash your hands regularly
- Stay physically distanced outside the home
- Avoid engaging in large event gatherings
- Limit exposure to others outside your daily routine
- Avoid interacting with others if you feel ill or they are ill
- Get tested if you display symptoms (English | Spanish)
- Participate in contact tracing if contact (English | Spanish)
- Utilize Notify WA mobile app to assist in communicating potential exposure
- Access testing centers across Thurston County (FREE on Dec 21 from 10am-1pm at Yelm Community Center)
The health and safety of our students, staff and families remain a top priority and the path to returning to in-person instruction.
The school board and I send our warmest wishes to all of you this holiday season.
