There is a lot of excitement in the air tonight! There have been some questions buzzing around regarding the return to the building. Here are a few that we hope we can answer!
1. Will kids need to bring water bottles this year? Students are encouraged to bring water bottles to fill as water fountains will remain closed this year with the exception of our water bottle filling fountains.
2. Will parents have to do the COVID screening every morning? Parents no longer need to complete the COVID screening in the mornings. We ask that you keep your child home if they are exhibiting any of the following symptoms: Fever, Cough, Shortness of Breath/difficulty breathing, chills, fatigue, muscle/body/headaches, sore throat, new loss of taste/smell, vomiting, or diarrhea.
