Cedar Grove Friday Flash
January 21, 2022
Dear Cedar Grove Families,
We hope you are doing well and surviving the cold weather!
Early next week, we will be distributing a pack of ten masks to all students. MCPS recommends that students use one mask per week. At the end of ten weeks, and if additional masks are available, we will send them home with students.
Several school-based COVID-19 vaccination clinics will be held this weekend, on Saturday, January 22 and Sunday, January 23. Clarksburg High School is the closest location to Cedar Grove, and their clinic will be held on January 22 in the cafeteria. Additionally, some schools will serve as walk-in COVID-19 testing sites. Learn more by clicking the link below. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/Coronavirus/Vaccinations/
As a reminder, if your child tests positive for COVID-19, please report it to MCPS using this form. This is the same process used during winter break to collect information on students or staff members who tested positive. You may also call the school if you are not able to submit the information electronically.
MCPS has gathered a list of in-person, live and on-demand opportunities that are available to elementary and secondary students on days when school is not in session (after school, weekends and scheduled school closures). Some of these activities are not affiliated with MCPS. If you are interested in any of those programs offered, please contact those organizations directly. For more information and for a comprehensive list of upcoming opportunities, please click here.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much for all of the thank you letters for our first responders. It was a great way to show appreciation for all their hard work and dedication that often goes unnoticed. Here is what one student wrote to our Firefighters, and I think it says it all:
"Thank you for being there when there are fires in our buildings, when there are crashes, and risking your life for lots of people. If you aren't here working, I bet tons of others wouldn't be here on Earth anymore."
Again, thank you for all of your support!
Sincerely,
Stephen Oedemann

We will have two virtual sessions - one starting at 6:30 and the other at 7:00 PM. This will give our students an opportunity to visit two different sessions.

We have come to the middle of January and are plenty busy and engaged in the media center! I've updated the media monthly to reflect what we're doing by grade level. You'll also find more details regarding the grade 5 book club which is getting ready to launch and the Read Aloud Night. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
