Covid and Health Updates.
We will continue to closely monitor Covid trends in our community, and we ask parents to continue reporting confirmed Covid cases. Since the last confirmed case was 2/20/22, we will no longer be reporting district cases in the Monday Memo. At this time we will also no longer require quarantines for the entire household. If we see a significant increase in cases, we will re-evaluate the need for district reporting and other Covid precautions.
