Welcome Back to School
Wow! What an awesome 1st three weeks of school! We’ve had a great start back, and it has been a blessing to finally be reunited with all of our students again. I am so proud of our staff and students for adjusting so well to our school safety protocols again. It has been awhile, but everyone is doing a great job. Our entire staff is committed to providing a positive and safe learning environment for all of our students. Daily temperature checks are taken upon arrival for all students. Everyone is encouraged to wear a mask when leaving their classrooms and entering the hallways during transitions and when loading our buses. Good hygiene habits are reinforced throughout the day. Students and staff are encouraged to wash/sanitize multiple times during the day, and classrooms are cleaned and sanitzed multiple times during the school day and in the evening. I am happy to say that our staff and students have fully jumped on board to following the new normal of school. I want to thank all of our parents for preparing your children for this school year. You have done an excellent job, and we have had a great start because of you. Thank You! I also want to thank our staff and parents for your support. We have had several employees and students test positive for Covid since school has started. Our goal is to be transparent with our employees and parents in order to keep them updated and informed. We will follow the county safety protocols and work through the steps for contact tracing to identify any students or staff members who have come into close contact with a person who has tested positive. Parents will be notified if your child is identified as a close contact. An email message also will be sent out to notify all parents of a positive case. If you didn’t receive a phone call then your child did not come into close contact with the positive person. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I would love to speak with you. This month we will continue to focus on keeping our students as our #1 priority. MAP Benchmark Assessments have started in grades K-5 in Reading and Math. Student data will be used by teachers to determine if students need extra support in reading and math or if extensions need to be given for those who score above average. Our goal is to give each student their own individualized learning experiences that meet their specific learning needs/goals. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or administration. We are here for you and your children.
