It is cold this morning, and our buses aren't happy about that! We're having some starting issues so the buses may be a few minutes late. PLEASE, MAKE your children DRESS WARM today, especially the bus kids. Long pants, hats, gloves, coats, etc. so if the buses stall, kids will stay a little warmer. Of course, we will go out and help, but it takes time to get to the bus, and we are taking precautions on our end just in case. Thank you!
Congrats to the following Central Elementary Character Students of the Month for January. It was Fairness.

The telephones at the High School are not working right now. We are troubleshooting and working with NCC. Hopefully, they will be working soon! Thank you!
As a point of clarification, when social distancing is not possible in the classroom, students may be asked to wear masks to include small group work in classrooms. Some questions have been raised concerning wrestling and basketball where students are not masked up. Extra-curricular activities aren't governed by school attendance laws, and therefore, are optional.
The virus hasn't disappeared, and even though the mask mandate is lifted, we still need to follow the social distancing, hand washing, etc. guidelines. Contact tracing will now happen, too, if a student that attends school is positive and there is no social distancing or if both parties aren't wearing masks.
The only change is masks are not mandated. Thank you.
