PALMER PARENT PRESS

Dear Palmer Families,

Welcome back to school! We are thankful for the opportunity to live and learn together in-person for another semester in the New Year! As we all are experiencing challenges of every kind, we want to prioritize health in our community.

As an update to our current circumstances, we are experiencing staffing challenges while returning from winter break. Daily schedule changes are necessary to accommodate in-person learning. We are combining classes for instruction and specials as needed.

We will continue to respond to COVID-19 cases in the building by following the updated DPS guidelines for health measures regarding isolation and quarantine for staff and students. K-12 students and staff shift to 5 day isolation period for asymptomatic individuals and 5 day quarantine periods for exposures. Please continue to contact Ms. Teresa for absences and exact days to prepare to be out of school.

Please stay safe. Thank you for your support and partnership through this uncertain time.

Ms. Dawn Salter
