Community Service THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of the families who donated to our Tiffany Ridge Winter Service Project-UNPLUG & PLAY. With your generosity we were able to give 40 students a new game to take home over the holidays. Our hope is that students and families continue to unplug more and PLAY AS A FAMILY IN 2022!
TIFFANY RIDGE SPOTLIGHT:
Repetition, hand motions, letter sounds and guided reading are just a few of the activities that Tiffany Ridge Elementary students use to learn new words. Watch this year's "Tiffany Ridge Spotlight" to learn more about the Heggerty program and its positive impacts on the Timberwolves. #LifeReadyParkHill #ParkHillCSIP
This spotlight is sponsored by Parkville Pediatric Dentistry.
COVID-19 Updates
The health and safety precautions in the Park Hill School District are constantly evolving during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting with the second semester on January 4, here is what will be different:
Here are some of the things that will stay the same (complete list of health and safety precautions):
- Isolation of Sick People: We will continue to require anyone who tests positive for COVID to stay home for 10 days, beginning on the date of the positive test or on the first day symptoms appeared. In compliance with state law, we will provide those cases to the local health department.
- Notification: We will still notify families and employees about cases in Park Hill. We will let families and staff know if there is a positive case in their building. We will also provide a message to families if there is someone with COVID in any of your child’s classrooms. It will be the health departments that will let you know if there needs to be a time of quarantine.
- Dashboard: We will still provide weekly data about cases on our online COVID dashboard. We will no longer track quarantines, since those will be handled by the health departments.
- Testing: We will still provide antigen testing for students and staff who have symptoms or who are currently quarantined. Families of students should contact their school nurses, who can help them request and schedule a test. Staff members should contact their supervisors and then call the testing site. Consent forms are on the website if you want to request an antigen test.
- Partnering with You: If a student or a staff member is sick, it is more important than ever that they stay home. Please help us keep our community safe by being cautious and staying away, even if you think an illness could be allergies. The nurse at your school will be happy to help you talk through your symptoms.
