We made it through our first regular week of classes with almost all of our staff and students in the building.
We would like to continue this model for the rest of the year. In order to give ourselves the best shot at making that wish a reality, we really need to remain vigilant and consistent on our safeguards and prevention.
We remind our students about the coronavirus safety protocols, primarily monitoring symptoms masking, social distancing and hand washing.
