Great Things Seen & Heard

  • Thank you to the many helping hands that make the work of organizing and sanitizing light!
  • A local police officer showed compassion to one of our teachers that was racing through a school zone to get back to class on time!  
  • We were glad to hear a teaching colleague pointed out the volume button before the computer tech showed up to fix the sound on a classroom SmartBoard!
  • We know we’re under pressure when we rejoice over news that the disinfectant only has to sit for one minute instead of ten! What a relief!
  • We have a new staff member named Brandy that has agreed to host safety meetings from time to time!  

Bits & Pieces

  • Hot Lunch order forms for students and staff (plus the etransfer link) are now available online. Food must be pre-ordered this year due to sanitary constraints. Please add the link to your Google classrooms.

  • Our school has now had a first student out with sore throat and cough.
