I am pleased to let you know that today students did an excellent job complying with the new
mitigations that we were required to implement. As a result, all athletics, activities, clubs, and
performances will resume as usual tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 7. This includes all scheduled
performances of our Prisms of Winter concert.
The new mitigation measures will remain in place through the end of this semester and are as follows:
1. Every person in the building must wear a KN95 or surgical mask. Students who don’t have
their own can get a mask as they enter the building.
2. As many students as possible need to participate in a second round of saliva testing this
Thursday, Dec. 9. Once again, our PE and Health teachers are graciously sacrificing instructional
time so that we can maximize saliva testing during those classes. Here is the schedule for this week:
Fieldhouse Auditorium
Students in Driver Education who are not in behind-the-wheel instruction should get a pass to go to
the Auditorium for testing during class. For student athletes who are in season, you will be testing after
school. Your coach will be in touch with your testing schedule.
If your student is not opted in yet, please click here for instructions on how to complete the consent
form in Skyward. If you aren’t sure whether your child is opted in, you can follow these instructions to
check.
One final note: The Board of Education is holding a special meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m.
to discuss our COVID mitigations. The public is invited to attend online; the link to view the meeting
will be available by clicking here to go to our BoardDocs page.
I know that the past few days have been extremely difficult. Thank you to all our students, teachers,
and staff for all your efforts to help get our students back to the sports and activities that they love. You
truly do represent those things that are best.
Sincerely,
