Happy 2022 Hometown Families!
We hope everyone had a wonderful, restful holiday break and we are looking forward to all that 2022 has to offer! If your families are experiencing any symptoms or awaiting test results that will prevent you from coming back on January 6th, please reach out to myself and the nurse via email at abencik@d123.org or sbaker@d123.org.
We are also looking forward to our PTA meeting on Thursday, January 6th at 6pm. We will be raffling off a Jewel gift card for all participants.

Vaccination Cards
We recommend that each family begin to upload their child's vaccination card to Skyward. We have provided directions for doing so. If you have questions, please email or call the office.
Masks
Please make sure your child has extra masks with them for the day. We ask that each family pack their child's backpack with additional mask in case theirs breaks or gets dirty.
