Family Weekly Message: October 15th, 2021
Good afternoon Cotee River Families, this is Mrs. Slusser with your weekly message. Thank you to everyone that has been able to support our school wide fundraiser. The fundraiser will end on Tuesday, the 19th. There is no school Monday due to Teacher Planning Day. The front office will be open 9:00-3:30. Wednesday is our school wide Unity Day. Everyone should wear orange! Wear Orange to show unity as a school for kindness and acceptance against bullying during National Bully Prevention Month. Friday is the last day of Quarter 1. Report Cards will be available on-line through the Parent Portal October 26th, in the evening. We look forward to seeing everyone’s bright smiling faces ready to learn Tuesday morning, no later than 9:40. Take care.
Additional Information:
Scholar of the Month for September: If your child was not able to attend Scholar of the Month this past Monday, they will attend on October 25th. We are also going to change the time from 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in hopes this time will work better for our families. One Family Member may attend and if they have a sibling at school they may also attend. We will also put on Facebook Live, as long as the technology is working.
Coming Up Red Ribbon Week: No masks, face painting or imitation weapons (bring a change of clothes). This year will only be for Staff and Students. We will put on Facebook Live starting at 10:00, as long as the technology is working.
Keeping our Staff and Scholars Healthy: Please continue to support our efforts to keep our scholars and staff healthy. Screen your child before coming to school each day by using the daily screener. The screener can be located on the district county website, along with our current guidelines. If you have any questions on whether or not you should send your child to school, please contact our front office at 727 774-3000 to discuss next steps. In addition, the use of masks and other personal protective equipment will remain highly recommended, but not required in almost all school situations and environments. However, given the significant increase of cases, usage is strongly encouraged for students to protect themselves and help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our schools.
Student Notification of Potential Exposure to Positive Individual at School: For students that are notified of having potential exposure to an individual that has tested positive for COVID-19 at school, the parent may:
-
- Continue to send the child to school
- Choose to keep their child at home
-
-
- Parent/Guardian must notify the school that they are choosing to keep their child at home due to potential exposure or the child has become symptomatic.
- It is important that you contact us, if you are choosing to keep your child home, due a potential exposure or your child has become symptomatic in order for us to excuse the absence. If we do not receive a call, the absence will be marked unexcused.
