Parent/Family News September 10
Thank You!
First, THANK YOU for all you did to make this first week of our school year a success. We had some challenges, we still have some challenges, but I believe the first week went very, very well for our students and staff. THANK YOU for your patience and grace as we continue to develop our systems around new challenges and opportunities.
Fall Pictures -- A Change
We were just notified by LifeTouch that we will need to adjust our date for school pictures. They have a shortage of photographers and will not be able to staff photos this coming Thursday. Instead, we have rescheduled fall pictures to Monday, October 4. Thank you for your patience.
Student COVID-19 Testing Program
Please know that this is OPTIONAL!
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has continued to emphasize the importance of COVID-19 testing in slowing the spread. As a result, MDH is collaborating with school districts to offer access to:
- testing kits for students in all school buildings. (At Home Testing)
- rapid tests that can be used for symptomatic students. (In School Testing)
Please use the link below to access more information about these two testing options.
