Remember to Follow Protocols As we work diligently to overcome the pandemic, it is important to rethink possible illnesses. In the past, it would be common to “tough it out” and wait a few days before going to get checked out. With COVID, it is important to be careful. At the beginning of signs, please stay home. Get it checked out through free testing. We need to work together to stop the spread. I am proud of our students and how we wear masks, wash hands, etc. We will get through this. | ||||||||||||||||||||
