COVID Safety First

We are working diligently and thoughtfully to open our doors safely:

• We are opening with smaller class sizes to maintain 3 feet of separation.
• Students will eat breakfast and lunch supervised in their classrooms.
• Every person in the building is required to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
• Parents of students in grades K-12 are asked to complete the COVID testing permission form. Random testing will take place every two weeks in school.

The first day of class for students is Monday, September 13^th.

• Every morning, every adult and child entering the building must show the health screener by logging in and answering a few questions.
