A Message from Mr. Holder
COVID is a reality for us right now. Yes, there have been positive cases, but the vast majority have been from exposure outside the campus. The masking and social distancing have been integral in our efforts to minimize the effects for our students.
As we get further along into the school year, we are noticing a greater level of complacency from students wanting to wear their masks or wear them properly. The masks should be worn so they cover the mouth and the nose completely.
Parents, we could use your support in reinforcing with your students the necessity of wearing masks properly while on campus.
Student Reminders
On Campus Students:
- Have a mask and be prepared to wear it all day.
- Have headphones that connect to your device. You will need these to listen to any teacher interaction.
- Check your schedule in Skyward to see if any courses have changed. We will not print schedules at school so make sure to either print a copy or access it on your phone.
- Ensure that you are in dress code.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.
- Have a great school year!
Virtual Students:
- Have an adequate work area at home. No distracting materials should be seen.
- Make sure your camera works. Part of being a virtual student is being visible on the camera at all times.
- Make sure your clothing is appropriate.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.
- Have a great school year!
