Middle School Principal’s Letter

Dear Parents,

Thank you for taking the time to read this short week’s version of the News and Views. After our ERD day today, our teachers spent the afternoon working on the accreditation process and our strategic goals.

Our athletes are having fun participating in the X-Country and Fitness after school activity. It was good to see children running, laughing and having fun again on campus.

We wish you a relaxing break as you celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday. However, we need you to renew your commitment to avoid or reduce social gatherings outside of the school day that could increase exposure. As we enter into the winter months, we must remain diligent in carrying out the protocols that have kept us healthy and in school.
It will take the same kind of teamwork to continue in-classroom instruction, pre-season training for sports, fine arts activities, and other seasonal events such as the Halloween celebration organized by the PTO and Booster club this week.
Now is time to renew our commitment to wearing our face coverings properly, covering both the mouth and the nose, washing our hands thoroughly with soap and water, and maintaining social distancing when possible. After all, we are in this together.
Enjoy your break.

Thank you for your continuous support of the middle school.

In Partnership,

Courtney Bailey
Middle School Principal
