Greetings,

Happy Holidays!  I hope you are all healthy and enjoying  the Holiday season that is upon us.  

As we enter the upcoming week with a return to hybrid I am aware of a wide range of emotions from excitement and eagerness to anxiety and concern.  These are all valid feelings and real for each individual.  We will make every effort to support all of our students with their social-emotional and academic needs.  

I am confident in the safety and cleaning measures employed by our custodial staff and the adherence of our COVID safety requirements to provide a safe learning environment for all students and faculty.  I believe if we all do our part we can safely provide our hybrid learning model and allow in person learning.  

Students are reminded that strict adherence to our COVID safety requirements are expected and will be enforced.  Students and households are also reminded that it is better to be safe than sorry and any students not feeling well or exhibiting any flu like or COVID symptom should stay home and seek medical advice from their doctor as needed. 

Spartan Safe = Spartan Strong

Looking forward to seeing our students tomorrow!
