January school news

Students and staff returned to school on January 3 after the holiday break amidst concerns of rising COVID cases. Per a communication from Superintendent Greg Martineau on December 31, the District remains committed to “consistent implementation of mitigation measures to ensure the safety of all students as it learns more about the spread of the Omicron variant.”

Testing will be done regularly on Mondays for the remainder of the school year (tests will be distributed on Fridays). Please be sure that you have completed a consent form. If you have tested positive for COVID, do not participate in the pooled testing for 90 days.
  • If your child has tested positive since December 21, parents are asked to complete the form notifying the school district
  • All should be wearing well fitted masks.
