Brown Bear Families are the BEST!!
A big thank you to all our families from all of our MSN staff. We are moving close to the end of the first quarter and students are making good progress. Thanks to our supportive families, we are getting a handle on decreasing the spread of COVID within our school. There are still more cases than we would like, but families are keeping their children home when they are sick and when they are known close contacts. We have also limited the number of visitors to the school during the first quarter to assist in diminishing the spread. These steps really are helping us and we truly appreciate your efforts.
NO BUSES
The week of October 4th will be another round of NO BUS week for Midnight Sun. We will once again open our doors early for those families who cannot make other arrangements for getting their child(ren) to school via an alternate method. Please note that if your student is always parent drop-off, the expectations is that they will continue to be dropped off as close to 9am as possible. We do have extra staff here at 8am, but their responsibility is to monitor/supervise the students who normally ride a bus to school. We do not have a full staff at 8am.
Go Brown Bears.
