20-21 DAVID 30TH ANNIVERSARY YEARBOOK
Sales are underway for the 2020-2021 yearbook! This year’s yearbook will be extra special because it is David’s 30th anniversary. We are also looking forward to capturing the uniqueness of this year. This won’t be one to miss! You can purchase the yearbook at www.jostens.com. Please see the attachments below for all ordering information, options, and pricing. Take advantage of the lowest price of the season by ordering before October 23rd.
STAFF LUNCHEONS
Our parents have been looking for ways to donate snacks, treats, etc. to our teachers and staff. Since the staff members are trying to be very careful about not sharing food, getting too many deliveries, etc., we thought we could still provide an individually boxed lunch for each staff member once a month. Each grade level will have a month in which you can donate to help pay for these lunches. Our teachers and staff love to have a day where they can have lunch brought in and not have to worry about packing a lunch. Our Grade Level Liaison will collect the orders from the staff and deliver the lunches. Currently we are working on the details and will update parents for each grade level as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to Jessica DeVerse at djess214@gmail.com.

COVID-19 SCREENING PROCESS
Our parents are valued partners in our Roadmap to Reopening Plan. In addition to wearing cloth face coverings, social distancing, washing hands, and regular cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces, an essential element in helping slow the spread of COVID-19 at school is each parent’s commitment to screening their child daily for symptoms. Parents are also asked to keep any student exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 at home and to notify the campus. Below is a copy of the current screening process which outlines the symptoms. Please review the information and be sure to keep your child at home if he/she is exhibiting any of the symptoms described.
Please note that all campuses are closed to visitors at this time to help stop the spread of COVID-19. If you must visit a campus, we ask that you screen yourself prior to leaving your home. All visitors that come on a campus/facility will be required to use the Access Intercom system or call the front office from their vehicle. Once the reception area identifies the person and their need to be on campus, they will be allowed in the building. All visitors will be required to sign in using the visitor program. Each visitor will be asked the screening questions. If a “yes” response is given to one of the questions, the visitor will be asked to leave the campus immediately.
Parent/teacher conferences, ARDS, 504 meetings etc. will be held virtually or by telephone when possible.
Thank you for helping to keep our school community safe.
