During this season of Advent may your families discover a renewed HOPE in our Savior. May the lights on the advent wreath, in windows and on trees be a reminder that Jesus is the strength and light we need on this life journey. Enjoy the excitement of your little ones as they await the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

Dr. McLaughlin has shared a letter for parents providing families an update on our recent Covid-19 health and safety guidance. For your information Delaware Co. has been in the substantial/high range (7.1) recently and numbers have spiked the past month. Per the CDC guidance we are recommending booster shots for all our faculty, staff and volunteers. Guidance for quarantine when exposed remains different for those vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. We continue to be grateful to all our families for sharing information and continuing your healthy practices that ultimately supports all students and faculty here at school. While in this substantial/high stage we will be limiting visitors into the building. Anyone dropping items off please ring the bell and make Mrs. Gordon aware of your drop off. Then use the bin on the wall for your item s. Please make sure all items are clearly labeled with your child’s name and homeroom. Thank you for continuing masking when on campus near our students and faculty. We are grateful for the continued support.
