Covid-19 Vaccine

Many parents have already begun to have their child vaccinated against Covid-19.

There is no mandate to have your child vaccinated - it is a parent's choice as the Superintendent of Schools has stated in his weekly newsletters.

If your child does get vaccinated the parent is asked to share the vaccination card with the school so we can make a file for each of the classes.

Again, this is not mandatory.

As we saw with the 7th grade class students who were vaccinated were permitted to remain in school and not stay home quarantined. 

If you have questions please feel free to see Mr. Woods during morning drop off/ after school pick up or on Sundays.


As a reminder that appointments can be made with Alba. I am available at 7:45 am or between 3:15 to 3:30 pm. 

You may also contact me at any time via your child's google classroom account.
