Due to the coronavirus, we are currently assessing all safe and healthy methods of instructional delivery for the opening of school in the fall.
Safety protocols are being engineered this summer to keep students healthy and safe from the COVID-19 virus once school is back in session. Plexiglass is being installed throughout the school, social distance plans will minimize risk and maximize peace of mind for students, staff, and parents. Our sanitizing protocol will prevent the spread of this virus, as well as seasonal flu that often spread quickly in schools.
