SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO
Everything You Want to Know
Week of January 17, 2022
FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
In an effort to help ensure the health and safety of our community, we have decided that we will be pivoting from our auction fundraising event and will NOT have an in-person auction this February. Look forward to more details regarding our fundraising efforts in the coming weeks.
With the new year comes the need for planning for our 2022-23 school year. We have been fielding many new applications over the past couple of weeks since our open enrollment period began on January 3rd and we want to make sure that we have accurate information from our current families regarding their intent to return. Please complete the following Google Form by Wednesday, 1/26 to indicate your enrollment intentions for the 2022-23 academic year:https://forms.gle/2ULX82NrVVAdHM9Y8
In closing, I appreciate our steadfast commitment as a community in limiting social gatherings, wearing face coverings, maintaining physical distance, practicing good hygiene habits and getting vaccinated. Compliance with these measures will ensure we are doing everything possible to keep our community healthy and school open for in person instruction.
