This week we received positive test confirmations for three elementary school students. We have followed our established protocols as outlined in our Re-Entry Plan and continue to work in collaboration with and under the guidance of our local and state health partners. We send our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

About this time one year ago, we were in a much different place as the pandemic affected the county. We had pivoted between in-person and e-Learning several times, and it was all hands-on deck to navigate through the uncharted waters of a global pandemic. The lessons learned by our educators and staff who pushed through have not been forgotten nor has the strength and resilience displayed by our students.

We are grateful that our entire community continues to pull together to help us stay the course in keeping our students learning in class every day. While I realize that we’re still not completely out of the woods, I feel our district is in a much better place than it was just a year ago. I remain optimistic that the greatest pandemic-related challenges are behind us.

Thank you for supporting the district’s pandemic response efforts and working with us to keep our students and staff safe and in class.
