This coming week, parents will receive a link to a survey asking them to share their opt-out, carpool or stay-as-they-are decision.
Survey Deadline: Sept. 8, 2021
COVID Dashboard
The District added a Covid Dashboard tracker to its website. The COVID Dashboard, which is updated weekly, presents pertinent information on the incidence rates in the county and confirmed cases at each school. On the District website, click on the “COVID” menu and pull down the tab for the COVID Dashboard.
Community Fun
