Please help us show appreciation to our classroom teachers next week, and don't forget our wonderful custodial staff, lunchroom workers, specials teachers, and administrators who are just as critical in our children's educational experience. 

School Lunch Hero Day is May 6th and all families and students are invited to show support and drop off gratitude cards, posters, artwork, or anything that would show appreciation to our Stallion cafeteria staff!

Thank you for your input as we have worked to create well-balanced classes for next school year. Considering some of the unknown possibilities that can come up over summer breaks, official placement and class assignments will be announced in late Summer of 2022. 

We will keep you posted on how you will learn who your child's teacher is for next school year!

The Garden Committee is holding one more workday before summer on Friday 4/29 from 9-1. If you are able to come, please sign up for a shift. Students that attend will earn a free dress pass that can be used any Monday!

Though masks are now recommended, the policies for contact tracing and quarantining remain in place.

For anyone testing positive, the district will follow the five-day isolation period recommended by the CDC. If students display symptoms, we ask their families to keep them at home. 

A student is deemed a close contact if they are NOT wearing a mask and is within 3 ft of a confirmed positive student/child who is also not wearing a mask, or within 6 ft. of a mask less adult who is confirmed positive.

In case of close contact (without masks) with someone who has tested positive: 

• If the student is unvaccinated, quarantine them at home for five days and contact their health care provider. 
• If the student is fully vaccinated and not displaying any symptoms, they can return to school and must remain masked at all times. 

Below is the link and QR code for parents to submit their child’s proof of vaccination, deadline to submit March 31^st:

• Click HERE access the form 
• Sign in using the student ID number and date of birth
• Fill out the required information, including your email (e-card will be sent to that email)
• Upload an image of the proof of vaccination (card, IMMTrac2, document from medical provider)
