Principal's Message
Alcova Families,
Thank you for another amazing week! The students were so excited to get outside and see the SUNSHINE! Please come out and enjoy some of the many community building events in the coming weeks. I hope the students enjoy their day off tomorrow.
I also wanted to assure you that we are keeping in close communications with our district on information concerning COVID-19. Last week, we sent a letter home with some information. But, I wanted to let you know as well that we are continuing to promote proper hand washing, and our school district is working closely with local and state health partners to monitor COVID-19. Our district's partners include the Gwinnett Health Department, Georgia Department of Public Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We at AES are following the guidelines provided to us from these partners.
Furthermore, our custodians are being extra vigilant and have reviewed proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures and have been asked to pay particular attention to high-touch surfaces (like doorknobs, faucet handles, etc.)
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your support.
Your Proud Principal,
Cortina Harris
