• Even to kids who recently had COVID

Air Filters need to be cleaned- what’s the guidance? Is someone supposed to be vacuuming them?

Masks continue, classes are still distanced.

Field Day:

Each grade had a day, and field day events were held in the school yard and also afternoon playtime and lunch in the park

Looking at the week before science week. Each grade would have a day, and there would be one day that is a rain date, any class that gets rain date.

• Could lower grades go closer?
• Possible to go to Vanderbilt playground, would need to check on permits for picnic
• Permit vs. no permit in terms of reserving a spot

In School Assemblies

• Lunar New Year, whole school in the school yard
• Working with Sarah Sheers re: Holi Festival and Nowruz

PTA Updates:

• Canceled this week, but will be back during the break so people can test before coming back, and thinking about every two weeks to start
• Drumming assembly and author visits
• Readathon in full swing
• Edukit planning beginning in March

Equity Team Updates:

• Kids on the committee have been doing morning announcements for black history month (4th and 5th grade)
• Each grade/class is working on doing a quilted timeline project, pieces in every classroom, and a mosaic type insulation at the entry, also planning on doing a mural there later in the year
• Last week was a lot of different equity team meetings between district wide, students, and parents.
• Today was the first meeting of the rainbow alliance for 4th and 5th grade students.
