Dear Parents/guardians:

Covid-19 has affected all of us in ways we never thought possible. The numbers have risen over the past several weeks and with the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays, the gathering of families and friends are bound to happen. With that in mind, the start of the second semester will be delayed by one (1) week, and face time school will start on January 11, 2021. This decision is based on County Health Department recommendations and the rising numbers of Covid-19 in our zip codes. January 11th was chosen as it is 16 days from Christmas and 10 days from New Year’s Eve. Any symptoms anyone will have will manifest in that time.

We will, however, start online January 4th-January 8th and the students will need to log on to Google classroom or contact their teachers for direction on what school work they will be doing that week. Students are reminded that the third quarter BEGINS January 4th and they are responsible for any work teachers assign.

Upon return to school, it is imperative we all adhere to these guidelines:

1. If ANYONE in the household has Covid or Covid like symptoms, do not send the students to school.

2. Temperatures will be taken before students will be allowed to ride the bus, if it is higher than 100.4, parents will be informed to come pick up their student.

3. Students and staff must wear facemasks or face shields on the bus, in class, etc. All will have the opportunity to take off the mask throughout the day for breather breaks, but we will adhere to social distancing. (exceptions will be made for students and staff with medical issues)

4. Continue to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.

5. If students get sick at school, parents will be contacted and have one hour to come pick up students.

Thank you and with your help, we will avoid any other school closures and finish the rest of the school year. If you have any questions, please contact the school.

Sincerely,

Karl Uterhardt
