Dear Parents,
2021 is off to a great start! Your children did a wonderful job with their virtual learning last week. They should be commended for their effort and participation. We are excited to welcome our students back to campus this week. Registration forms for the 2021-2022 school year will be sent home soon with the youngest student in each family. Please complete the forms and return them by January 22 with the $150.00 registration fee per child to secure your child's placement for next year. After January 22, there will be a $50.00 late fee per child. If you do not receive the forms, please call the office. All accounts (tuition, after school, etc.) must be current in order to register for the upcoming school year. If you are not returning next year, please let the school office know of your plans.

Thank you for continuing to follow the guidelines we have in place to help our students remain safe.
The Alabama Department of Public Health has updated its guidelines for schools. Isolation guidelines remain the same. An individual with a positive test result will need to isolate 10 days from symptom onset or 10 days from a positive test result if asymptomatic. If after 10 days the individual has been symptom-free for 24 hours, the isolation period may end. There is a change in quarantine guidelines. An individual who is determined to have close contact with a COVID positive individual must quarantine for 10 days. For schools, a negative test does not negate the 10-day quarantine.
Close contacts are determined to be individuals that have been within 6 feet for longer than 15 cumulative minutes of a COVID positive individual within 48 hours of their symptom onset or positive test. Please continue to let the school administration know if you have a student that needs to quarantine.
Also, please know if your child is determined to be in close contact with someone within their school community that tests positive you will be notified.
