1st-5th Grade Parent Night (Zoom)
1st-3rd Grade: 5:00PM
4th/5th Grade: 6:00PM
Parent Night will be via Zoom this year due. Homeroom teachers will send their Zoom links to families prior to the event. Also, we will be recording the sessions in the event families cannot attend.
On-Site COVID Testing
We have the opportunity to participate in a COVID-19 surveillance testing system that was developed by the University of Illinois called Shield Testing. This testing protocol is one more mitigation strategy that will help us keep more children in school for more days this year. Please read through all the material and then sign the consent form that is attached. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
We are hoping to start this protocol in mid-September. We will also be moving toward a testing protocol that will include the BinaxNOW test developed locally by Aabott labs. There will be more information on the use of BinaxNOW in future communications. Students will only be able to participate in this protocol with signed consent.
Thank you!
