NEWS FROM DR. CHAUSSEE
PTO and Covid Protocols
Last week’s Gator Tales article brought attention to the Abbott PTO and the lack of positions filled for next year. Since then, three people have stepped up to help fill these positions. That is great news. We do still have a few committee positions to fill as some parents’ children will be leaving Abbott.
Switching topics, I want to take this opportunity to inform parents of our current stand on Covid. Unless something changes drastically, we will not be changing the cleaning and mask protocols we’ve had in place all year. Staff members who are age 37 and above who choose to do so will be able to get vaccinated this weekend as 1200 vaccines become available. We will NOT stop wearing masks other than at lunch, recess, and snack time. We will still remind students to try to stay six feet apart, which isn’t easy as our numbers increase,
As of Monday, we will have only18 remote learners which is down from 70 at the highest point. That represents a little over 4% of our total enrollment. The staff appreciates all the parents have done the past several months and especially this past week with many treats in our lounge. The support of our protocols and our way of keeping everyone safe is also very much appreciated.
