In the past 2 weeks, we have had 3 positive or presumed positive cases of COVID-19 among our students. Thanks to the prompt actions of parents, students, and staff, quarantine measures were implimented in a timely manner and there was little to no risk of exposure to other students or staff. There has been no indication of spread to others, and we are able to continue in-person school at all grade levels at this time.

With stories of Contact Tracing scams being reported in our area, please read the following information on what Local Public Health Authorities will ask and will NOT ask if you get a call from them for Contact Tracing information: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1009661/Contact_tracing_questions.pdf More information on Contact Tracing can be found on the school website under Documents/COVID 19 Information.

Week 12 has concluded! This week came with it's share of hurdles, but we've been able to get over them. We have had to exclude a few students to quarantine for 2 weeks due to outside exposure to positive COVID cases, and a coach tested positive as well. Thanks to our safety protocols, exposure to other students and staff members was very minimal. As the holiday season approaches, please remember to use all precautions possible to stay safe and healthy. Keeping our school open depends on all of us working together.

Sixth grade students are thankful to our Veterans and service people. The letters in the attached document were written from the heart. They are not part of an assignment and are not graded. Their beliefs are genuine and true, much like your service. Thank you Veterans! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RP0Lf6fF0hvcAcNMpCEANRPKoil9R0Lv9_Q544QqqsI/edit Click on the link to read their letters!

As of today school is on a normal schedule for all classes as we begin the week on Monday. A few students have moved to Comprehensive Distance Learning temporarily due to exposures outside the school. Within the school, we have yet to receive a report of a confirmed case. Please continue to adhere to all mitigation practices.
