Dr. Rath's Corner
Greetings Wildcat Families!
Wow! We are so excited to have 480 of our Wildcats back in the building. We love hearing the sounds of a busy and productive school atmosphere. Ms. Kuhns, Assistant Principal/Data Processor monitor our daily numbers to ensure we are following health and safety guidelines. Please know for our remote families, , we will need to follow a 48-hour transition time for having students move from remote to in-person. The 48-hour transition time is needed for Ms. Kuhns to ensure students are placed in classes following health and safety guidelines. Thank you for being patient.
Great News for King Science:
- Covid Saliva Testing began last week! Parents that have students in-person can use the link below to sign their child up for the testing.
- Virtual Family Night coming up on Thursday, February 18th. We will be re-watching the Mars Rover landing in our Planetarium and play some challenging space and math games for prizes. Come join the fun, it is going to be out of this world.
Future Planning:
