Fall MAP testing will begin next week.  This year K-8 will take MAP Growth in Reading and Math, and grades 3-8 will also test Language.  Please make an extra effort to ensure your child arrives on time, eats breakfast, and has a snack on testing days.  While MAP is only one snapshot of how your child is doing, it does provide valuable data to help teachers plan instruction to meet your child's learning needs.

This year's COVID guidance: If a student tests positive for Covid-19, he/she should isolate for five days.  After five days, students may return to school if they are no longer showing symptoms and will need to wear a mask through day 10.  

The following set of strategies for everyday operation are also in place:

• Students must stay home when experiencing symptoms of respiratory or gastrointestinal infections, such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea.

• Promoting hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette which includes the expectation of regular hand washing and the covering of coughs and sneezes.

• Cleaning and disinfecting the facility, particularly high-touch surfaces, at least once a day.

• Optimizing ventilation and new air filters in the building

Walking club starts Friday, September 1.  Students in K-8 are invited to participate.  Students should go straight to the gym before school starting at 7:25 a.m. 

Please see letter from parish office regarding distribution of the precious blood during school masses for grades 3-8 starting August 24.
