Hybrid Learning Plan
We are pleased that so many students opted to attend school under our hybrid learning program. The week shortened by the snow proceeded without a hitch. We look forward to seeing students from all of the attendance zones next week. Please keep in mind that as you get ready for in-person learning each day, you should stay home if you experience any symptoms associated with COVID-19, including the following:
- Cough
- Fever or chills
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Muscle or body aches
- Sore throat
- New loss of taste or smell
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
If you experience any of these symptoms as you arrive to school or at some point during the school day, you will be escorted to an isolated room so that you can be picked up by your parent/guardian.
