Families,
This past week had three total COVID positive cases (two previously reported). The Middle School had the only newly reported case that resulted in 14 total quarantines from both school , home, and bus contact.
At the conclusion of the year I will share total numbers. It is very important that we remember that despite the challenges we have successfully navigated an incredibly challenging year.
Thank you!
-Mr. Darnell

Families,
We have had two reported positive cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. One case was at the elementary school and resulted in 4 quarantined students. The second case was at the high school and resulted in 9 quarantined students. Please continue to self certify your students these last two weeks and keep children home that are symptomatic or exposed to COVID outside of school. Thanks for your help and attention!
Sincrely,
Mr. Darnell
