**This was sent home to parents last night, as well as posted on our website.
Dear Parents:
We continue to watch as our school, community and county covid numbers increase. We have seen our student numbers slightly increase, but the quarantine numbers due to contact with positive family members is quickly increasing and several staff members are now affected. After consultation with the Health Department it is agreed that going remote next week (Dec. 13-17) would be in the best interest of our school community. Teachers will be present at school and will conduct remote learning during this week. Tomorrow students will have the opportunity to get books, materials, and technology to use during this period. Our students have been working hard on their Christmas program, so tomorrow will allow for us to video the program to share with family and friends. A few sports activities will be allowed to continue. Coaches will be in contact with parents and players regarding their schedules.
We continue to hope for a healthy and happy holiday season. As always, the board, administration, and staff appreciate and value your continued support.
