Back to School Information for September 2020

The first day of school for students will be Monday, September 21.

There will be a week of orientation for students prior to the start of school
(September 14^th-18^th). More information will be available soon.

Staff will report September 8^th-11^th for professional development and to prepare for our learning models focused on in-person, all virtual, and blended instruction.

As we all safely return back to school, remind our students about how practicing good hygiene and following safety procedures makes our classrooms safer and reduces the risk of spreading the virus. If you suspect that a child is ill, please keep your child at home and use the links below to learn more about the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. There are also screening resources and assessments available online to help you determine whether your child is at risk. Informative websites are available including the CDC who provide information about symptoms and screening, as well as educational posters that can be used in our classrooms and at home.
