COVID Update
As was announced last week, and as was communicated by PSD earlier, there will be changes to the existing COVID health measures starting on Monday, Feb. 14. The biggest change will be that masks will no longer be required for students while at school. Many of the other measures remain in place.

PD Day/Family Day
A reminder that there is no school on Friday and Monday of next weekend. Friday, Feb. 18th is a PD Day, and Monday, Feb. 21st is Family Day.
COVID Reporting
The number of COVID cases reported to the school is updated on our website each Friday. We continue to request that families let us know if a student tests positive for COVID, as we rely on self-reporting for these numbers. Thank you for your support.
