Happy Summer! I just wanted to send out a quick note as we begin looking ahead to the start of the 2021-2022 school year. Don’t worry, still plenty of time to have fun in the sun!

Welcome New Families
What Does Next Year Look Like?
- Students must continue to wear masks at the elementary
- 3ft distancing will be maintained in the classroom and hallways
- 6ft distancing will be maintained when students take off their masks indoors (eating)
- Due to the 6ft distancing for lunch, we will need to utilize both the cafeteria and one of our gymnasiums to accommodate two grade levels eating at the same time.
- Hand-washing and sanitizing routines will continue
- We will be having recess and students will be allowed to take off their masks
The are many other aspects we are still working out. As Dr. Lind mentioned in his newsletter last week, we are still waiting for guidance from the state to help us with planning. We will continue to update you on aspects of next year as they come up.

This is designed for all families members to attend.
