EAGLE NEWS
January 22, 2021
NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Week #1 of our Hybrid Schedule was highly successful. Our
students are doing a fantastic job adapting to the "new"
school structure by wearing their masks in the school, socially
distancing, and following our 1-way traffic pattern in the
halls. As we continue to move forward, we ask that parents
continue to be cognizant of their child's exposure levels and
whereabouts. We are still fighting the effects of this virus and
want to continue to be a part of the solution in controlling
the spread.
Please remember to keep your children home if they experience
ANY symptoms (fever, cough, nasal congestions, sore
throat, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, fatigue,
headache, myalgia, or a new loss of taste or smell). If a
student tests positive, please make the school aware. We have
our contract tracing protocols to limit the internal
spread of COVID to other staff, students, and school programs.
It is essential to be open and honest with the contract
tracer if a positive student potentially exposed others to the
virus to inform people for their safety adequately.
As always, thank you for all that you do. Thursday, January 28,
ends the last day of the 2nd Marking Period. Please keep
up to date with your child's grades by checking Power
Parent.
Stay warm, safe, healthy, and have a great weekend.
