I hope your holiday season is off to a great start. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we navigate the pandemic. Thank you for doing such a great job communicating with Nurse Diaz about any and all things COVID.
It is hard to believe that Christmas is just three short weeks away. We have some fun Christmas activities planned with our Christmas Sock Day on December 11th and our Christmas Pajama Day on December 18th. Our PK3-5th Grade Christmas Programs will be recorded and sent to parents during the week of December 14th.
We continue to do what we can to prevent the spread of the virus in our school. We cannot control outside influences, but we again ask for your assistance.
If we work together and take the necessary precautions during the holidays, we will have better control of our students' and staffs' exposure to the COVID virus. As always keeping your children and our staff safe while here at school is and always will be our top priority.
If you are traveling outside of the state of Texas during the Christmas holidays, we ask that you provide a negative PCR COVID test before returning to school. The test should be taken once you have returned to the Houston area after your travels. Minute Maid Stadium offers free PCR COVID testing for those who make an appointment online, results take 24-72 hours to come back. Ascent Emergency Medical Center, 2280 Holcombe in Houston, offers the PCR test with same day results. Their phone number is 713-821-2360.
Here are some links to information about travel from the CDC:
Thank you again for all your support! Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Dr. Kathleen Cox
