Nightly News for January 10th

  • Yes we are seeing cases roll in from the weekend. Please keep in mind that when a student has the HLT code this does not necessarily mean they were a positive case. We have many students out right now because someone in their household tested positive, they are not vaccinated and as a result need to remain out of school. In the event of a positive case I will be emailing, texting or talking to you ASAP. 
  • Speaking of HLT. If you see this code and the student shows up for your class please call the office immediately to let us know. The student should report to the office as well. Be mindful of their privacy.
  • District protocols are that IF a a staff member takes a COVID test at school they should be going home. This is an area we have bent the rules around a bit. That being said, we want to ensure we have enough tests for students, as you know they are in short supply. I will be communicating out w/ staff those who have been potentially exposed. In the event you have been options are to go to the district office to take a test. In the event you develop symptoms please see me. Here is more info on the districts testing:

PPS is making COVID-19 testing availble to school-based staff who are serving students in-person and have been recently exposed to COVID-19, are fully vaccinated and remain asymptomatic. (read more about requirements). The tests will be administered Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the BESC (501 N. Dixon St.) pending availability of tests, which will be updated on this page. On Friday January 7, there will be three daily sessions Morning 6:30 to 9 a.m., Mid-day: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Afternoon: 3 to 5 p.m. Starting the week of Monday January 10th, the testing schedule is as follows:

  • MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY

    Morning: 7:00 to 9 a.m.

    Afternoon: 3 to 5 p.m.

    Test availability concerns will be posted here as needed.

    Monday Jan 10th AM testing is full

  • Just as an FYI our attendance rates have been: Thursday-84%, Friday 81%, today 78%. I may be a percentage off on last week's numbers. Some other buildings are around 60%. 
  • Those staff members serving our middle school students should be attending a VILS Experience tomorrow. You will need to register for this. If you have questions please contact Dave Molloy.
  • For all other staff members we will be meeting online tomorrow for staff meeting. We will be reviewing some COVID information. Slides available to our middle school team as well.
  • Malia P., our Pacific Islander Community Partner, will be out on leave until mid-February. If you have students asking to see her etc. please let them know she had a family emergency and will not be back until then.
