News from the principal

Art Teacher: We are excited to announce that we have hired Ms. Natalie Johnson as our new art teacher. Ms. Johnson has a BA from Western Michigan University with a Major in Art (emphasis in painting) and a Minor in Child Psychology. She has worked as an art instructor in a variety of after school and summer programs over the last six years and currently leads visual arts classes at Maywood Fine Arts. Welcome, Ms. Johnson.
 
Symptom Verification: Even though we will no longer require you to complete an online form each morning, please be aware of symptoms in your child. It is easier logistically, and generally better for the child emotionally, to stay home rather than be sent home from school because of symptoms. Children with symptoms must have a negative lab test to return to school.
 
Serving Grace,
Bill Koehne
Principal
