BES Principal Newsletter
September 1, 2022
Good evening BES families!
Our Byron PTA is looking for new members to join the PTA organization! If you are looking for some ways to be involved at the schools, please send an email to byronareapta@gmail.com. You can also check them out at the next PTA meeting on Monday, September 12th @ 6 pm in the elementary library.
We will be entering our fourth week of school after Labor Day and NWEA MAP testing will begin. Please help your student by making sure they are well-rested, fed and alert for testing. We will begin testing on Tuesday and should finish all testing/makeups by Friday Sept. 16th.
In preparation for our virtual Wednesday, childcare has limited openings due to staffing shortages. Spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If you are looking for full- or part-time work and love kids, please contact Tammy Laurin at laurin@byron.k12.mi.us for more information on current job openings.
Have a safe, enjoyable Labor Day weekend and we'll see everyone again on Tuesday!
Educationally,
Mrs. Johnson
COVID Information
We have received updated School COVID Guidance from the Shiawassee Health Department. If a student tests positive for COVID-19, he/she must isolate at home for five days before returning to school. Per this guidance, day “zero” begins the first day of symptoms or the positive test day, whichever comes first. As an example, if I begin symptoms on a Monday, and test positive Wednesday, my day zero is Monday. Therefore, I isolate at home through Saturday, and may return to school that upcoming Monday. Full guidance, along with additional recommendations, can be found here. *Please note that medical documentation will be required in order for isolation/quarantine absences to be coded as "medical" and not be considered unexcused when determining truancy.
