AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO
OUR PARENTS ABOUT APPROPRIATE MASKS FOR
YOUR CHILDREN:
Now that we are coming to the end of the first quarter, we continue to be very vigilant about
the safety of our entire school community. Unfortunately, cases of Covid-19 continue to be troublesome locally and throughout the nation. We would like to remind you to make sure you send your
students to school with the proper masks and that those masks are clean. Improper masks puts your child and others at
risk. Please note the following protocols:
--Our homeroom teachers and staff will continue to do daily mask checks. This will be reinforced routinely by our ICCS Health
Representative Debbie Ramsey. Should there be a problem with a mask, the parent will be
notified as appropriate.
--If situation isn't clarified, the teacher will provide nurse's note to the office... health office will evaluate and call the parent if
needed.
--A student will be issued a new mask if indicated. The first mask will be provided as a courtesy. Replacement cost after the first
mask is issued will be $2 per mask.
THANK YOU AGAIN AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR
CHILDREN AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY SAFE!! ____________________________________________________
**IMPORTANT REMINDER**
ALWAYS DRIVE SAFELY DURING ARRIVAL
AND DISMISSAL FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL!!
**DRESS UNIFORM ON THE DAYS THE GRADE LEVELS GO TO THE MASS**

Have been so cooperative and attentive so our longer car lines can run smoothly. We are
tweaking as we go along…thanks!
