Weekly Family Updates 1/10/22

 


We had a very busy but wonderful first week back. It is so nice to have everyone back, and we are doing everything we possibly can to keep everyone in school, safe and learning. THANK YOU for your flexibility as we have had to adjust bus routes due to driver illnesses. 

We need your help!
Please, please, please do not send your child to school if they are sick, are a COVID close contact, or have a positive COVID test. An individual experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 must stay home from school and seek testing, regardless of vaccination status.



For Our 8th Grade Families...
Grant High School January enrollment nights will now be held virtually. Please watch for updates from Grant with details. 


Drive If You Can
If at all possible, we'd invite as many of our families to drive their kids to school as possible. By reducing the number of students on a bus, we decrease exposure to COVID, speed up bus routes, and help us when/if we have to double up routes due to illness. THANK YOU!
