9.6.21 - Holiday no school

9/9/21 - Coffee with the Principal 8:00 - 9:00 AM

 

Dear Sparks Families. I can’t believe that September is here already! We are about to enter the 4^th week of school and your Sparks are doing a fantastic job. By now all routines and procedures are running smoothly, MAP testing is almost completed for those students who have been on campus. If your Spark has been absent due to being ill, do not worry, we will have make-up days available for them. The data collected from MAP helps us identify the needs and support your Sparks need from the beginning of the year.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep our school safe and healthy. We know that the COVID cases in our community have increased and are thankful for our families who keep their students at home when they are feeling sick and informed the office of any COVID cases. It is helping us to mitigate the spread in our communities. We encourage all families to send their Sparks to school with a face mask and talk to them about safe choices of washing their hands constantly, keeping their masks on, and their hands always from their faces.

We are constantly encouraging students to wash their hands and disinfect them with hand sanitizer throughout the day, we are limiting the number of classes in the café at one time by serving some classes lunch in their classrooms and dismissing students with their own classes only. We will be performing Electrostatic Disinfecting Spraying in our Elementary Schools on a weekly basis.

 

Again, thank you for your support in helping us keep our school safe and healthy for all Sparks.
