From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

I can’t believe that we are in October already! The weather is cooling off a bit so we are now into pants only until May. IF the weather turns unseasonably warm, I will notify you if students can wear shorts. Thanks for you help with this. You have all done well😊

Covid Update: Active Positive Cases: 1

Students in isolation or quarantine: 13

THANK YOU for the help to keep the kids safe and healthy. I appreciate you being vigilant about keeping sick children home and getting students with symptoms tested. I listen to principals in the schools around us and they are not having the success that we are!

MAP Test results and conference time slips are coming home tis week by individual student. Please look for them in your child’s backpack or folder. Reminder that conferences are virtual this time around. Please be prompt in entering your specific time slot for your conference.

Picture retakes are Thursday, October 7^th. Please send in your picture envelope for retakes. NOTE: 8^th graders will have formal Graduation pictures taken in January so they do not need to retake these pictures.

No School on Friday, October 8^th. We will be attending a Teachers' convention. We will be receiving our Exemplary Recognition at the luncheon. Enjoy your long weekend!

Blessings,

Mrs. Ellen Knippel
