Integration of the Arts into our curriculum is GREAT for our students! Who says Math can't be fun and creative? Fourth grade students used Art to practice and understand prime numbers. Students studied the morphology of the word prime which also extended to Art concepts of primary colors! Our students are learning deeply in these lessons. We are proud of them!

At the September board meeting held on Thursday, September 9, 2021 the board made an amendment to the current mask mandate policy. The plan is to have the Administration look at the weekly ACHI report posted (usually on Thursday) on achi.net/covid19 and see what color zone the district is for the week. If the color is purple (highest risk) or red (high risk) the mandate will be in place for students and staff/faculty for the following week. If the color is orange (moderate risk), yellow (low risk), light green (lowest risk), or dark green (no risk) the district will highly recommend the mask but it will not be mandated. However, if the actual school data does not correlate with the residential data for the week, the mandate will stay in place. For example, if the color for our residents is orange but the school data shows that we are having a spike in cases then we will still have the mandate in place for the school. Also, the mandate will automatically go into place for the following week if the color goes back to purple or red.
We will be sending out a notification on Friday afternoon of each week that will inform parents of the mask determination for the following week. The daily dashboard of COVID cases within the school as well as the ACHI map for the week is posted under COVID Weekly Report on the front page of the district website. Please contact your child’s building if you have any questions.
The district color for the week is purple so for the week of September 13-17 we are still under a mask mandate.
