News for our 6th & 7th graders especially
Given the positive direction Covid is heading & your input, please begin sharing with current 6th & 7th graders that we anticipate they will get to fully use their lockers next year. This means they will not need to or be allowed to carry backpacks from class to class.
Laptop sleeves were on all the supply lists.
As always, if a student has a 504 or IEP that allows backpack use that will be allowed in those rare cases.
What if students don't come to school on 5.27.21?
Mid-week we will deliver two containers - one for devices & one for chargers - to each Team. Students who tell you they are leaving early for summer can add their device & charger to the box. If the box is heavy, please email Darrin so one of the custodians can carry it to the office for you.
Appreciation Bags for remote learners are scheduled to be delivered by Friday, May 21.
Thank you to PTO members & staff members, Kim Johnson, Kim Priller, Erin Dobson & admin who delivered appreciation bags!
It's that time of year! :-)

"No reason other than personal is to be given when taking a personal leave day."
"In the months of April, May & June, no more than 3 bargaining unit members or 5% of the homebased staff per building, whichever is greater, may be absent on any given day (including restrictions above) due to personal leave." For KJHS, 5% is 4 certified staff.
Personal days may be used in 1/2 day and full day increments.
Personal leave may not be taken the last 5 days of school without approval through HR.

Staff Symptoms & Guidance (updated March 2021) Staff who are fully vaccinated (a minimum of 14 days AFTER the 2nd/last vaccine in the series) can be exempt from quarantine if a family member has symptoms, as long as they do not have any symptoms. Staff can report to work as long as they provide a copy of their vaccination card to you for verification.
Staff Covid Reporting Form: Staff who are exposed to a positive case and would be considered a close contact should still fill out the staff reporting form even if fully vaccinated (a minimum of 14 days AFTER the 2nd/last vaccine in the series) so the monitoring team can determine if quarantine is necessary based on the criteria.
We need to continue self-certifying wellness.
