COVID cases rising
With COVID cases rising across the country and specifically in our communities, we ask that students please stay home if experiencing any symptoms of sickness. This is crucial to the safety and health of our school community. If a student does test positive for COVID, they are to remain home for five days, and are encouraged to wear a mask for an additional five days upon their return to school.
