Monday, May 10, 2021B Day Golfers participating in the meet today...take the bus to NorthBrook just like you do for practice. Harmann Studio will be here to take track and golf pictures tomorrow after school. Don’t forget your uniform.
Tuesday, May 11, 2021 A Day - Last night the School Board decided to change the mask policy, effective today, to return to our COVID guidelines from April 6 to May 5. Based on how many of you were wearing masks on your way in it seems you knew that: I appreciate you all. Essentially, masks are required in all parts of the building with the exception of those spaces where a person is behind a barrier and socially distanced at least six feet (note, staff alone in their rooms may leave their mask down until someone else enters the room). We all have thoughts or feelings about this and we’re asking everyone to show one another respect. Let’s show our Spartan Pride and “the golden rule” to treat others as we would like to be treated. Any teasing, picking on, or potential bullying will not be tolerated. Any student who experiences such negativity should contact an adult immediately. Staff members should report that information, and any instances where they are treated negatively, to Mr. Chandler. Any student who engages in this type of negative behavior toward a student or staff member will be severely disciplined.
Wednesday, May 12, 2021 B Day - As we finish out the school year, and like we should each day, we’re asking everyone to show one another respect. Let’s show our Spartan Pride and “the golden rule” to treat others as we would like to be treated.

Current 7th graders: scheduling forms are due to the office tomorrow. Last night the School Board decided to change the mask policy to be optional in all cases. While many of you are likely to be very excited by this update, I’m asking everyone to respect anyone who may choose to wear a mask here at school. We will have continued discussion regarding barriers: whether we’ll keep them up, some of them, etc. The School Board also decided to make May 28 the last day of school for grades PK-8. The staff and I will be working out the details of the plan for the final days of school. More to follow. A follow up from the previous morning announcement. As I announced, masks are optional for students and the expectation is we are all respectful to those who choose to wear them. Any teasing, picking on, or potential bullying will not be tolerated. Any student who experiences such negativity should contact an adult immediately. Any student who engages in this type of behavior (negative toward a student who chooses to wear a mask) will be severely disciplined.

A few words about the updated mask decision of the school board. Masks will not be required outside including recess. However, masks will continued to be required in ALL areas of the building with the following exception: in classes where six feet of social distancing can be achieved AND you can be behind barriers. Essentially, classes with smaller number might be able to do this where those with larger numbers may not. This will be at the direction of your teacher. The BIG reason: we want to stay open for in person school as long as possible. And, contact tracing will continue at six feet in all directions per the health department.
