Return to Class & Remote Learner Pick-Up

At this time, we are on track for in-person learners to return to the classroom on Monday, January 11th.

As noted above, before you come to school each day, please remember to take your child’s temperature and conduct a general health assessment.  If your child is not feeling well in any way (even if symptoms are not consistent with COVID) please keep them home and follow up with your child’s doctor and our school nurse.  Please report all possible COVID exposures to Mrs. Vignati.

For our remote learners, a reminder that the bi-weekly “remote learner pick-up” will take place at the school tomorrow (Friday) from 2:30pm – 4:30pm.
