I know you got those texts as well. The ones stating there was no school for the entire week. (I started to wonder if Mr. Kramer's phone had been hijacked, but in the end, I just went with it. No sense in asking too many questions, right?!) I guess the Lord thought we all needed a break, so let's take a moment and thank Him for His goodness and grace. I hope you enjoyed your time off - I know I did!

 

February COVID Procedures

have not changed. They look the same as they did for the last couple of months. 

• no homemade food brought in as treats for student's classmates
  
• absolutely NO visitors are allowed in the halls or commons. If you must come into the building, please come to the office and we will be happy to take care of you. :)
• someone in your home being tested for COVID? Your student MUST remain home until you receive a COVID negative test
• weren't lucky enough to get a negative? Well, keep your little blessings home for the next 10 days from the onset of symptoms
• notify the office of why your particular blessing is not at school

Positive you don't have COVID but Johnny is whiny? His nose is running a very sticky icky color of green? No fever but has a problem leaving the sanctity of the bathroom? Yea. He needs to stay home. We thank you in advance.
