only one week to order your pink shirts, so don't hesitate! We will not be taking late orders.
Do you have a child who will be 4 years old on or before 9/1/22? If so, you can pre-register your child for the drawing for our First Class PreK program. We have one PreK class which welcomes 18 students. Please see the information below on how to pre-register.
covid absences
If you notify us that your child has tested positive for COVID, Nurse Felecia will provide you with a return to school date based on the 5-day quarantine. We will automatically count those school days as a COVID absence. If your child is still experiencing symptoms after the 5 days and needs to miss additional days, you will need to send a signed parent note to school upon your child's return explaining the situation. That is the only way we can extended the COVID absence days beyond the 5 days.
Additionally, please remember that if we have confirmed your child was exposed to COVID and your child shows ONE or more symptoms, your child must quarantine for 5 days from the onset of symptoms, regardless of testing negative or having a doctor's note. This is the district's policy so that we can hopefully prevent the spread that sometimes happens from students who are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.
We are all ready for this to end! Thanks so much for your patience and understanding as we navigate this surge in COVID cases. We are hopeful that the surge will end soon.
Thank you!
