News from the principal
Health and Safety Protocols: One update to the COVID protocols is that the IDPH has made it clear schools may not accept negative results from an at-home COVID test for re-entry into school. If a child is out with COVID symptoms, you need a negative result from a lab test in order to return to school.
For students that are out due to isolation or quarantine and wish to return after Day 5, please be certain that your child is feeling 100%. If this isn’t the case, keep them home for an extra day.
Re-Enrollment: Information went out today via email regarding enrollment for the 2022-23 school year. If you need it sent again, contact the school office or go to this link. The next 10 days are reserved for current families to enroll for next year. We begin enrolling new families in February.
Coach Brooks: We learned yesterday that Coach Brooks has accepted a new position and will be moving with his wife to Minnesota at the end of the month. Coach Brooks has served in a variety of roles for more than 10 years at Grace, currently as Facilities Manager and Coach of our cross-country and track teams. We will miss him dearly. If you see him next week, be sure to thank him for all he has done at Grace.
Serving Grace,
Bill Koehne
