Introduction

This plan is to guide our school year in response to the continued COVID19 pandemic.

Our goal is to provide a high-quality educational experience while respecting the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. It reflects input from parents, educational and health professionals and state officials.

This comprehensive plan, is neither exhaustive nor static. Day-to-day school-level operational plans, athletics and activities guidelines, may change due to new information in regards to COVID19 and CDH guidelines.
