Return to 5-Day a Week, In-Person Learning
Good afternoon,
Tomorrow marks our return to daily in-person education for our students who did not opt for virtual learning this semester. While last week was a great way to ease back into in-person learning, we're excited to take this next step towards normalcy! Mask wearing, social-distancing, temperature scans, and regular extra cleaning are still of course part of our routines, and we ask that our families continue to do basic wellness checks each morning before students leave for school.
Thank you for always supporting our school, and we look forward to a great week!
Sincerely,
Shane Hartley
Principal, Deer Park Jr/Sr High School
