Week 33 Update (4/29)
Teacher Appreciation Week; if there is one thing everyone can agree on is our teachers are amazing, they are real-life everyday superheroes.
We continue to work toward providing our students with the best school experience possible. This past week has had some non-school-related close contact quarantines of students (i.e., parent's tested positive, their child(ren) stays home for 14 days).
It continues to be of the utmost importance for parents to keep sick children home; this helps protect our face-to-face instruction and services from disruption.
Click here to review our COVID-19 Dashboard with data updates in real-time. This link brings pertinent information together into one easy-to-access place. These recent cases occurred over our spring break; having a remote day on Tuesday really helped bring some of these cases to the surface before our students and staff returned to school.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
All the best,
Don
