Stay Safe -- So We Can Safely Return
As we transition away from being in person, please continue to be mindful of ways to keep yourself and one another safe. I urge our families and staff to continue wearing masks, avoid large gatherings, keep socially distant (even among friends), and avoid travel if at all possible. I know the temptation is there to lower our guard at this time, but these are so important for us to make sure we CAN return safely on January 19th.
Please continue to communicate with your child's teacher and Nurse Valarie about attendance issues so we can make sure our record are accurate during remote learning. If there is anything we can do to help your student or family while we are away, know that we are always here to help!
Looking Ahead -- Calendar & Schedule Reminders
The week of November 30th-December 4th will follow the exact same schedule your child has been following so far this year. The only thing that will change is that students will not be coming into school on days when they normally would have learned on site. Everything else, including the Remote Monday schedule, will be the same.
Stay tuned for upcoming communication about any changes to the schedule for the period of learning from December 7th-January 15th.
Help for Students & Families - Food Services
The district will continue to distribute meals on Mondays at Marie Murphy School during the period of November 23rd - January 18th. Interested families will receive seven (7) breakfast and seven (7) lunch meals for each child age 18 or younger. Breakfast meals typically consist of a main entrée of cereal, a bagel or a muffin along with milk and fruit. Lunch meals are similar to what is provided onsite on a regular basis.
