School Status
Our communication this Wednesday indicated that our elementary schools will return in full beginning on Monday, February 1. We reminded families that it is important to be prepared to shift learning models as we navigate these complex times. Our next update is planned for February 3.
Health and Safety
With Monday’s planned return to full in-person instruction at the elementary level, we will continue to closely monitor cases of COVID-19 if and when they appear. We evaluate each case to better understand the potential source of exposure, and if we determine that an active outbreak is occurring due to in school transmission we will respond accordingly.
