I hope you all enjoyed the 3 day weekend and had an opportunity to enjoy family and rest. As the COVID cases continue to rise, we ask that you help us as we do all possible to keep everyone safe. We continue to ask that you provide a quality mask for your child to wear everyday and talk with them about the importance of wearing the mask properly. If your child has any symptoms of COVID or close contact to someone with COVID please keep your child at home, have your child tested, and contact us if your child has a positive result. Our attendance office will code your child's absent accordingly. Safety is a priority at Weiss and we need your help to ensure that we keep all staff and students safe and healthy.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, please contact us at 972-749-4000 and we will do our very best to provide you with the information you need.
Sincerely,
Principal Merritt
