Just a friendly reminder to our parents and staff that the District's mask mandate is still in effect in our facilities. The mandate significantly reduces the number of students who need to be quarentined if they are within six feet of a Covid-19 positive individual. With all of the excitement of spring activities, we hope that as many students as possible can participate in these events without being quarantined. We are thankful for the cooperation of our employees and students who have obeyed the mandate all school year.

We'd like to give a shout out to Mrs. Barnes' Leadership Class, who surprised Central Office staff today with decorations to convert the office Christmas Tree into an Easter Gnome Tree. The tree has remained up because space at the temporary R-II Administrative Office is limited.
