Parents, Guardians, Community Members:
This is to alert you that on Tuesday, February 16th, there are 90 students who are absent from school because they have either tested positive for Covid-19 or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive. Please remember to exercise caution by practicing safe social distancing, wearing a face covering and washing hands frequently. The pandemic is far from over. We ask that students and families help us keep our students in school by adhering to the safe social distancing guidelines. Also, please remember to contact the school nurse immediately if anyone in your family is experiencing flu-like symptoms. We will continue to do what we can to keep our schools open!
Sincerely,
Jamie Skjeveland, Ed.D.

Today is the 101st day of school! Students in Mrs. Jensen's class are celebrating with pup-corn and collections of 101 things.
