Happy New Year!
It was great to you, your students, and this wonderful school team. I missed you all very much!
And do I dare mention the snow? (some of you may not be as big a fan of it as I am) but OH MY GOODNESS THE SNOW!
It was definitely a challenge on you as families last Thursday and Friday to navigate the delayed start and get your cars to and from campus. I sure appreciate you!
I want to call out and thank all of you who helped each other these past few days. It's a true community that sees a need and steps in to help. I saw this Garfield community help each other push cars out of gutters and steep curbs. I saw you clear walks, and watch especially closely for children in and around streets at the start end of our school day.
I love this community! and I am thankful for you.
So happy new year! Let's see what amazing things await Garfield Elementary in 2022.

Covid Update:
I encourage you to keep your eyes out for messages from Michael Hausman, or even on the TSD main webpage for updates regarding COVID and our response and planning that will help us maintain in-person learning.
The most helpful things for you to know for right now are the following:
- Monitor your student for symptoms. I know and often preach how important good attendance is, however, if your student is sick, please keep them home. Communicate with our front office the need to stay home.
- Sending your student in a clean mask remains a daily priority at school. Students are doing a great job wearing them while at school. We have extra masks to support you if you need.
- TSD has many resources to support your student and family with accessing testing, as well as vaccinations. You may access those supports here.
