COVID Update
Good afternoon,
We now have two positive staff members and one pending testing, first grade has now gone to remote, and we four students pending testing. Based on consultation with the Health Department, we believe it is in our best interest that we go to remote learning district wide the week of October 19, 2020, and return to full in-person learning on October 26, 2020 pending no further outbreak. We will use Monday, October 19, 2020, as a remote learning planning day and instruction will pick up again on Tuesday.
Dr. Caron
