Parents/Guardians:
We have just completed the first quarter and it has been fantastic having students back in the building. I am so proud of how well the majority of our students are following the COVID 19 guidelines and keeping each other safe. It has been a quarter filled with changes in every facet of our day from instruction, to the playground, the lunchroom, transitions, etc., but it has been well worth it to get students back with their classmates and teachers learning and growing.
Although we are very proud of how well OH is doing, we have not been without COVID having an impact on students and staff. We continue to be diligent in our protocols and appreciate your help and support. Please continue to make sure your child remembers their mask each day and that they are cleaned often to protect themselves. Families have been great at calling the office asking questions and reporting close contacts and signs of symptoms. If your child has been determined to be a close contact at school, you will be notified as soon as possible directly from Oscar Howe administration. If you just receive the general notification letter and do not hear from myself or Mrs. DeHaven, then that means your child is not a close contact. We will communicate with all potentially impacted students and staff any time a positive case is reported at the school, but know we are not able to provide additional details due to privacy concerns.
Thank you for sharing your children with us, it had been too long since we have seen them. It is wonderful to have them back and have the building filled with their voices and enthusiasm. We are so looking forward to the day when we can also welcome families back into the building. Take care and stay safe
