Important announcement regarding this week's FOOD SERVICE: We want to let you know that our food supplier is experiencing supply chain issues. Unfortunately there are several items on this week's menu that we have not been able to get: muffins, beef fingers, chicken nuggets, yogurt, sausage, mini pancakes, and donuts. Our supplier is continuing to try and get these items for us, if there is any way they can. If they are not able to get some items, they will substitute them for another product. We will have plenty of food for our students, however it may not be exactly what's on the menu. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. We will continue to keep you updated!

Families and friends, we need your help to keep our students safe and healthy and attending school! We continue to have large numbers of students being quarantined because a classmate came to school for 3-4 days with symptoms before going to get tested or while awaiting test results. A little sniffle or a sort-of sore throat or a headache that seems harmless, could be COVID. In the past, when one of my children was "a little sick” I would send them to school if they didn’t have a fever. We can’t do that anymore and keep our student body healthy and engaged in onsite learning. The very best way to prevent the spread of COVID and eliminate quarantines is for those with any kind of symptoms to stay home until they know for certain they do not have COVID. Thank you so much for your help! It is greatly appreciated! We want our students in school, learning and growing and having fun with us every day!
