As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.

We received notice that one of our students has tested positive for COVID-19. The student is now quarantining at home.

If your child is a classmate of the COVID-19 positive student, you will receive an email from your homeroom teacher indicating classroom exposure.

These situations, unfortunate as they are, highlight the importance of everyone doing their part to minimize the spread of this virus: consider being vaccinated, stay home when sick or while waiting for COVID-19 test results, keep things clean and sanitized, utilize proper hand washing, wear masks, and maintain social distancing.

We are excited about the launch of our new digital flyer platform, Peachjar. You may have begun receiving emails from this system sometime last week.

Peachjar is an “electronic backpack” we can use to deliver flyers directly to parents, saving paper that could easily get misplaced or accidentally thrown away. We will share important flyers with school news and events, and community organizations may also promote events and activities. This system will solve the problems we’ve had in the past with emailed flyer attachments not coming through or getting distorted when we try to send them
