Langston's Letters
November 29 - December 3
A Note from the Principal
Dear Langston Hughes Family,
I hope you found a healthy and safe way to spend time with your family members over the last few days. As we return and begin our push towards the holiday recess please keep the following in mind, attendance is critical. Please make sure that your child is in attendance on time, Monday through Friday, 8:00am - 2:20pm.
On Monday December 13 our school will again serve as a COVID-19 vaccination site for children ages 5-11. Parents of all students in grades K-5 in our building will be able to have their child vaccinated against COVID-19. It is easy to participate in this pop-up event. Here is some important information you need to know.
- The first shot will be administered at the school and information for where to get the second shot will be provided. If your child received the first shot at our school, they are eligible to receive the second shot on this day.
- No appointment is needed.
- You or a trusted adult must be present with your child during the vaccination.
While the vaccine is not currently mandatory, it is a way to ensure the health and safety of your child and family. The vaccine would also limit the need for a quarantine period if your child is exposed to someone who tests positive. I have attached a letter for families that will provide more information.
Have a wonderful week!

As you begin to consider middle schools for your child please remember to do your research. Your research should include more than looking at test scores. Take the time to visit schools to get a feel for their learning community.
