Dear Parents, Students, and Teachers,

We communicated on June 22 that we would be releasing our Comprehensive Return to School Plan on July 15. As of today, 90% of the plan is completed. The School Board is meeting tonight to offer feedback and approve the plan.

The completed plan will be released on July 17.

Thank you for your patience and continued prayer,

Eric M. Munn, Head of School
