I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. This has been a challenging year so far. I’m proud of our faculty, staff, administrators and students for dealing with all the protocols needed to enable students to attend school in person.
I know that some families maybe concerned about a possible increase in COVID 19 cases after the Thanksgiving Break. If you feel it is in the best interest of your family for your children to go remote the last two weeks of the semester, all you need to do is inform your school of your decision. You will then be welcomed back to in person whenever you feel that it is safe such as the beginning of the second semester.
