The return from spring break has been busy. Our first round of parent-teacher conferences, Middle School ERBs, on-campus COVID tests, and full days of learning ushered us into the final stretch of the school year. Next week, the school will be filled with students and we are excited to be welcoming even more of our students back each week.
 
 
As promised when we began our return to campus in March, we used our first weeks back to evaluate processes and procedures and make sure our safety protocols were working. The success of those first weeks has enabled us to make some changes for the remainder of the school year.
 
The next few weeks will bring more transition as we increase the days on campus for all of our grade levels. We appreciate your patience in advance as we work through any challenges that may arise along the way. We will begin our first round of pooled testing the week of April 12 and continue that process every two weeks to keep a steady read on the health of our community. Thank you for all you are doing to follow safety protocols at home. We look forward to filling the remaining 10 weeks of school with joyful learning. 
 
In peace and partnership,
