Happy New Year!
I hope you have had a restful and fun winter break. We received a welcome amount of rain here at school and lots of snow up above. We look forward to seeing you when school starts up on Monday.
We are experiencing cases of COVID-19 in our community. Word from the street is that this variant is very contagious, and to take precautions seriously.
Here at school we will continue to be vigilant with precautions including open windows and doors, frequent hand-washing and sanitation, and mask-wearing. We thank you for your support on the home front in monitoring your children's health, keeping them home if ill, and providing clean, well fitting masks daily.
A reminder that students who ride the bus MUST be wearing a well-fitted mask at all times. Please make sure your child's mask is well-fitted--an adult mask with the loops twisted is not sufficient as it leaves large gaps.
Wishing you the best in this new year!
Sincerely,
Nancy Sirski
