Who Should Get Tested

• Even if you are vaccinated, Minnesotans should get tested:
• if you have symptoms of the virus;
• if you have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19;
• if you are returning from international travel;
• or if you have attended a large gathering or event where people are not wearing masks and are not able to stay 6 feet apart.
• People who are unvaccinated should test before travel (domestic or international).
• Unvaccinated teachers, staff and students in K-12 should test weekly at a minimum or more frequently per CDC guidance.
• With the at-home program and 11 community testing sites offering free testing across the state, the state has made it easy for Minnesotans to find a test.

These students and staff were awarded the COURAGE award for the month of September. Congratulations to all of these students and staff who are being acknowledged for showing COURAGE.

During the month of October we will be focusing on RESPECT.

For Hispanic Heritage Month many of our classes are making Piñatas during Art classes during the week of October 11th. She is asking for 90 cardboard paper towel and toilet tubes for the projects! If you have any, please bring them to school this week!
