12/7/20 Parent "Patriot Post"
Cedar Grove Elementary School
Home of the "Proud Patriots"
The mission of Cedar Grove Elementary is to grow our students into respectful, curious and productive citizens.
DAILY HEALTH SCREENING (IN-PERSON DAYS)
More Important Than Ever!
Thank you to parents for your diligence in completing the health screening form on all in-person days. Parents must complete a daily COVID health screening form in the Genesis Parent Portal EACH MORNING students come to school. The form should be completed PRIOR to students entering the building. As partners in navigating this public health emergency we must rely on the cooperation of staff and families in keeping us all healthy and safe. The COVID screening form is a comprehensive checklist of symptoms associated with the virus. It is a much better indicator of the need to stay home than a simple temperature check. Students without a completed form will not be allowed to remain in school for the day.
Navigating This Difficult Time
As all public health experts are telling us, the next few months are going to challenge us like never before. In order to navigate this difficult time, we will need open communication and a continued commitment to keeping our students and staff safe. By working together, we will collectively mitigate the impact on our students and keep them focused on being "Proud Patriots" -- Respectful, Curious and Productive. Beginning 12/7/20, our students will follow the hybrid "specials" schedule. This schedule will be in place for at least the remainder of December. We thank you for your support and flexibility.
