NO SCHOOL on November 13, 2020! Students will not report to school. Students will not have online coursework for the day either.
All teachers will have a work day and report to school for the entire day. There will be work for teachers to do that day, so they will not be available to provide lessons to students or provide learning support for online instruction.

Note from the Executive Director |
|
Dear Parents,
We have recently had a number of students quarantined due to being in close contact with a Covid-19 positive person. I want to be clear that NONE of these contacts have happened at school. All of them have occurred outside of school. We have now had just three positive Covid-19 cases in our student body. Please remain vigilant with outside of school activities and contacts as this can directly impact school attendance for students. Our existing protocols have been working quite well, and I continue to pray that students and families remain healthy through this pandemic.
In Christ,
Julian Petzold, Ph.D.
Executive Director
