Dear Mt. Baldy School Families,
We have received a shipment of COVID-19 tests from CDPH for you to use with your children before they return back to school in January. Your children will bring the tests home along with their report cards this Thursday. Instructions for administering the tests are below. Thank you for your efforts at reducing the spread of COVID-19.
Our district has devoted some of the funds we have received for COVID-19 recovery to hire an individual to assist in assuring all of our students succeed in the area of reading.We are excited to share that we have the support Mrs. Janet Grausam, an experienced educator, to assess and provide instruction for our students in reading instruction. Welcome Mrs. Grausam!
A reminder that there is NO SCHOOL this Friday. Thursday will be early release. Report cards will be sent home with your child on Friday, along with two COVID-19 at-home tests.
In closing, we wish you a safe and joyous holiday with your loved ones,
See you January 3rd!
