A Slow Roll is what we will implement: If everything is running well without COVID 19 cases we will transition into more of our traditional guidelines and policies. We will re-examine everything as the school year progresses. We are lucky to start the school year with our students. We do not want to go back to distance learning again. Our students can’t afford to lose an instructional year. We must do everything possible to ensure the safety of our students/staff and keep them on campus for learning. It may not be what we want with the restrictions in place, but we will have the students in the classrooms and actively learning.
