A Message from the Principal

Hello Hunter Families,

Spring Break is upon us! This week will look very different for each household, but as it has become customary before each break, I want to take a minute to review the importance of COVID-19 communication, during school breaks.

Throughout this entire school year, our ability to maintain safe and effective in-person instruction has been reliant on our dedicated instructional staff, strong mitigation practices, and open and consistent communications between home and school. As we enter into Spring Break, we want to once again stress that it is imperative that positive cases, close contact quarantines, and students awaiting test results are reported to the PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE immediately. While the office will be closed from 3/27/21-4/4/21, we can take reports by email at mullinsj@gibdist.net. We will once again be able to take reports of close contact or positive cases by phone on 4/5/21. Mrs. Mullins will check emails throughout Spring Break if you need to notify the school that your child is a close contact, potential close contact, awaiting a test result or received a positive test result.

Please remember, that upon our return to school on 4/5/2021 the school MUST be notified and students should NOT be sent to school if:

Anyone in your household is waiting on a COVID test or has tested positive for COVID.
If your child has been in close contact with a person waiting on a COVID test or who has tested positive for COVID.
If your child is awaiting COVID test results or has tested positive for COVID.

Beyond these scenarios, if your child does not pass any element of the home screener, he or she MUST stay home, and the school must be notified.

I look forward to being back in school on April 5th! Have a safe week.

My Best,

Jenna Mullins
