In-Person Instruction Good Health Guidelines
We are very happy to have students back in the building for instruction! Please remember that parents and guardians are responsible monitoring their children's health on a daily basis. Children should not come to school if they are sick. If anyone in the child's household has symptoms and/or tested positive for Covid-19, the child should not come to school unless cleared by a doctor.
School Supplies
When you are shopping for your household, would you please consider purchasing an extra set for your child to bring to school? Here are items to consider: Clorox and/or Lysol wipes, Lysol spray, liquid hand sanitizer. These things are in high demand and we very much appreciate any donations that can be made to our school!
