Good afternoon C-F families,
So far this year, C-F has lost three school days to COVID-related closures, far fewer than other districts in the county. We had to close in each case due to staff shortages not infections or spread among our student body (that has been very limited so far). We make every possible effort to keep our doors open every single day and we've avoided other closure days because of the flexibility of our staffing jumping in to fill positions at the last moment. Unfortunately, future closures are likely. If/when staffing levels become too strained, it simply isn't safe to have students in the building. It is when we reach this point that we close.
Part of our struggle is not having enough substitute teachers. If you would like to learn more about daily substitute teaching for C-F, please email us here. We'd be happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. If it wasn't for our current team of dedicated substitutes, we'd have lost even more days of school this year.
As always, you can help us remain open by keeping sick students home even when their symptoms are mild.
Thank you,
Kevin
Superintendent
