I hope your students enjoyed the first full week of school. It has been an adjustment for all of us. As a mom myself my kids are exhausted and really hungry. Getting to bed early is one of the most important pieces for the proper development of children. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that school-age children up to 12 need 9-12 hrs of sleep in a 24 hr period.

Please review the Important COVID reminders below to ensure the continued safety of our school community. Thank you to all of the families that kept their children home if they were exhibiting any COVID symptoms. We appreciate the teamwork between school and home.

Mark your calendars for Back to School night on September 2nd, this is a minimum day and ALL students will be released at 11:50am. The event will be virtual.

With much gratitude,

Mrs. Williams

Masks must be worn on campus. Please send your student in a mask, and if you are walking on school property you must wear a mask as well regardless if you are vaccinated. We will have extra masks if they forget or if theirs gets broken throughout the day. This is to keep all of our students and staff safe. Please send your student with a water bottle to limit touching high touch surfaces.

Please do not send your student to school if they are exhibiting any of the following symptoms;

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

The Boys and Girls Club is currently at its current capacity. They are working diligently to hire extra personnel that would allow our program to house more students. If you have questions please email or call Katie Elze who will be running our Steele Lane Club.
