Important Safety Mitigation Reminders:
As required during first semester, we will again adhere to the important safety mitigations on the high school campus:
- Parents should self-certify each child before returning to school. If your child exhibits any one symptom, they should remain at home. Please complete the required Self-Certification Google Form Survey for 3rd quarter. This will be sent to the parent Email on file. Thank you.
- All students who are in-person, will have their temperature taken upon arriving on campus.
- All in-person students are required to wear masks
- Everyone on campus will adhere to social distancing guidelines and expectations
- Teachers will clean/disinfect all student desks between class periods
Transportation & Food Service:
- Bus routes will remain the same as the first semester. Any family that has changed addresses and needs information regarding new bus routes should contact the Transportation Office at (618) 254-7572 for assistance.
- All students will continue to receive a free-Grab-N-Go meal kit each day they are in-person. Daily meal kit pickups will be available for all students at the Commons entrance as provided during 1st semester.
- Mobile Market at South Primary will continue to be available this semester. Days and times for distribution will be communicated via Skylert and on our social media outlets. For additional Food Service assistance please call (618) 254-7575.
Technology Assistance:
- Any student (in-person or remote) in need of technology assistance should first complete a Help Desk ticket located on the district and high school website under the Students Menu.
