A Note from Mrs. Mathe
We continue to monitor our COVID positive cases on campus. We watch for trends and spikes in grade levels and classrooms. At this point, the spread is not concentrated in one particular area on campus. As a district, we remain at Level 4, continue to encourage mask wearing while on campus, and encourage good hygiene.
In response to these high numbers, we have had to cancel the 4th grade pep rally trip to College Park High School next Friday. Decisions regarding all other planned events over the next few weeks will be made 3-5 days ahead of the event. We will do all we can to not cancel events, but instead make slight changes in the way we run the event so we can safely participate. We will keep you informed as we approach the special events.

January 26: 100th day of school
January 28: PAWS-itive Celebration @ lunches
