Please be sure your child wears a mask to enter school or to the bus stop to board the bus. School staff will monitor students for wearing masks, social distancing, and hand washing.

The Board of Trustees met today to discuss our return to school. They considered the data, acknowledging all time high numbers of COVID cases and deaths in our area since Christmas. They decided to wait until January 25th to return to the A/B model. Please observe the safe practices that you’ve heard over and over and encourage others to do so as well, so that we will start to see a downward trend in cases! January 25th will be an A day (Purple Hornets). Athletic conditioning may resume next week. We will continue to offer breakfast and lunch pickup at each school location until students return. You will receive a link to sign up soon. Thanks for your patience as we strive to provide a safe environment for our staff and students. Dr. Fay Sprouse, Superintendent
