GLOW GAZETTE
AUG 16 2021 - FAMILY NEWSLETTER: GLOW ACADEMY
It was great to see so many of our students and families at Open House last week! We are looking forward to the new school year ahead!
While we are excited to welcome all students back to school for in-person learning beginning on Wednesday, August 18, we want to ensure that we do so safely. To ensure a safe return for your child we:
- are requiring masks for all students and staff. Students will only be allowed to remove face masks while eating breakfast and lunch, and both meals will take place outside.
- have purchased air purifiers with HEPA filters that are now located throughout our school. These air purifiers clean the air every 30 minutes by removing harmful toxins, allergens, and viruses with each cycle.
- will be misting daily to disinfect all classrooms
While we are doing our part to ensure a safe return for students, we also need your help! Please help keep our students and staff safe by notifying the school (910-338-5258) if your child is exposed to COVID-19, is experiencing any symptoms of illness, or has tested positive for COVID-19. We are happy to help guide you through next steps.
Your child is most protected from COVID-19 and will be able to return to school much more quickly if she has been vaccinated. Vaccines are available for individuals who are age 12 and older.
We will be offering vaccines for students on campus on Friday, August 20 with parent permission. Thank you to those families who signed their daughters up for vaccination at Open House. If you have not yet signed your daughter up for vaccination on Friday, August 20, and wish to do so, please sign-up HERE.
Please note that we will also be accepting vaccination appointments for parents and community members on Friday, August 20, as well. You can use the same link above to sign up friends and family for this opportunity.
We can't wait to see our students back at school on Wednesday!
