We are so happy that we can start the year with kids in person five days a week, and we hope we can maintain that all year, with a snow day or two if necessary.

I understand the frustration many are feeling about the mask mandate. You may have seen in the news the large numbers of kids being quarantined in other school districts, and the multiple football games that are being canceled due to excessive quarantines. The surest way we can keep our kids out of quarantine is for them to wear masks. It’s nobody’s favorite thing to do, but we are grateful for your patience and cooperation. 

I encourage you to become involved with the schools as much as possible by being active with your PTA and attending school events such as open houses, parent-teacher conferences, athletic contests, concerts, and the many other activities the schools offer.

The class of 2034 is entering kindergarten this year. 2034 seems like a lifetime away, but it will be here in the blink of an eye. Parents, take advantage of every opportunity the schools provide to spend time with your kids because before you know it they will be grown and gone. 

Once again, welcome back! Have a great school year! Go Knights!
