(NEW) Masking No Longer Required On Buses
As of late Friday, the Centers for Disease Control released updated guidance for masking on public transportation (here). Beginning today, Monday, February 28th, face coverings are no longer required on school buses and other district transportation.
Further decisions regarding masking for 4K and Early Childhood students will be evaluated by the Board of Education as soon as possible. We will communicate any changes with families.

Please be sure to read the newest District Newsletter that comes out now every Friday. You can access all the issues here.
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
During the week of March 7th, your student will be participating in a Student Engagement Survey. This survey was written by the district and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. It asks students to respond to questions in areas related to environment, learning, and relationships. Information from this survey is used by teachers and administrators to identify areas of improvement related to the student experience. If you have questions about the survey, please contact Mrs. LaPlant.
BRING YOUR COINS! STU CRU IS HOSTING A PENNY DRIVE FUNDRAISER
After our extra short week last week, the Penny Drive is now going to run this week Monday through Friday, February 28th through March 4th. This is a fundraiser for a non-profit organization called The Right Relief which is run by a former Country Dale teacher, Mrs. Mealy. Her organization provides meals to caregivers in need in our communities.
Bring in pennies and any dollar amounts to donate for your grade level. You can also bring in any silver coins to add to another grade level’s bucket which will count against that grade level. This is a competition! The grade level that raises the most will win a prize!
MARCH IS MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOL'S MONTH

If your child rides the bus, masks are required on the bus.
Check emails as the status of masking may change week to week based upon our positivity rate.
Reach out to the school with any additional questions. Thank you for your continued support.
