Superintendent/Principal Communication
It is hard to believe, but we are only a few days away from our first day of school (Tuesday, August 25). The Open Houses went very well. Thanks for following all the open house guidelines and for trekking in from the street. We apologize for the timing of the parking lot repairs. Please continue to pray for a successful and safe return to school. Contact us if we can be of assistance in any way.

Purpose of Open House:
Open House is typically a night where students and parents can take a walk in the building, drop off supplies, pick up schedules and orient to the classroom before school starts. In addition, important forms are normally picked up and dropped off and families purchase the Spirit T-shirt for the year.
Due to the current circumstances, we are modifying our Open House approach to involve limited groups at one time and travel in the building. The main purposes for attending the Open House in this format is listed below under each grade level along with specific instructions.

"Return to School Safely" Plan & Athletics Updates
After much conversation and consideration, we have completed the “Return to School Safely” plan. It has been provided to our teachers and staff for feedback, planning and discussion, and it has been reviewed and approved by the Clark County Health Department. In addition, parents were surveyed and we received over 180 responses in regard to components of the plan.
Back to School Update
Thank you for responding to our recent survey. To date, 180 people have participated. Your input and feedback are extremely important to us.
We are studying the survey results, participating in meeting with the Clark County Superintendents and the Health Department, and receiving updated guidance as we refine our back to school plan. Our goal is to send it to you by July 31st.
