September Community Correspondence

On September 1, 2021, Mrs. Miller sent out correspondence to our community regarding COVID-19 activity on our campuses. At that time, we had a total of 91 students impacted by a COVID case. I hope that all of you were able to take a moment to read her correspondence as we work to maintain a standard of transparency regarding COVID’s impact on our community. Unfortunately, schools across the country are shutting down as infection rates surge in classrooms and communities, predominantly in southern states. Given the uncertainty and proliferation of the delta variant, we simply do not know how long we will be able to sustain our present in person model of instruction. Our goal is to stay in person as long as possible without compromising the safety of our students, staff and families. Consequently, we will continue to review our mitigation efforts on all campuses and will continue to update our stakeholders on school mitigation measures, relevant school COVID data, and mitigation efforts you can take at home, and mask wearing. I would like to thank those of you who have supported our mask wearing request, as we are seeing a correlation between non- mask wearing students and COVID cases in our classrooms.
