This is Superintendent Nick Weismantel with an important message. The community is experiencing an uptick in COVID cases right now and we have a couple of staff and students who are out of school with COVID. Please monitor your children, and if they are not feeling well, please do not send them to school. We do have two testing options available. We have a rapid test we can administer here at school with parental consent and an over-the-counter option that we can send home with a student that parents can administer themselves. Our goal is to remain with in-person learning as we realize this is the best way for students to learn. Help us attain this goal by monitoring your child’s health. Together, we will make this a successful year.
