Dear Grizzly Families,
I would like to thank all of our families for your continued support and effort to help keep our school running safe as possible for the month of January, with a special shout-out to our Kindergarten families for helping us transition to four days of online learning this month. As of now, we have been fortunate enough to keep the rest of our Grade Teams in-person, and we will continue to do our best to keep our classes in school.
This effort has not been without a cost to our staff and our families. All of our teachers have stepped up to cover classes every day in the last few weeks when multiple staff were away and many of our parents have managed to provide support at home when dealing with sick children. This extra burden on families to arrange home care and continue to support their learning is greatly appreciated. I also want to thank families for keeping siblings home when they are a close contact, as this further supports our school in providing teachers and students to proceed in-person as safe as possible.
School Updates:
Masks and Rapid Tests
I have just confirmed with the courier that our shipment will finally be arriving this afternoon. This means, we should hopefully have the test kits and mask out to students by the end of day Tuesday. Again, I thank you for your patience in this process and if anything changes come Monday, the office will send a message to let parents know.
Monday – NO SCHOOL & Updated Office Hours
Just a reminder that school will be back in session on Tuesday, February 1st. Office hours will be adjusted on Monday from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
