COVID-19, CrisisGo, and Quarantine
If it is determined that your child has been in close contact with another person at school that is COVID Positive, we will reach out to you. You can review the district COVID protocols HERE
For years many of us would have our student power through small illnesses and go to school. Now is NOT that time. Please, if your student is ill at all, keep them at home. It is the best for not only your child, but also the best practice for all the other students and our staff. Our teachers are working to make sure our students have access to assignments and instruction while students are out. The better we are at this, the quicker we can weather this current rise in COVID cases. Thank you for your cooperation!
