Hello Garfield Families!
You have been receiving updates about current cases of Covid-19 at Garfield. It’s been a challenging couple of weeks and we are working hard to make sure that distancing, handwashing and mask wearing continues as we navigate school during a pandemic. Overall, students are doing a great job of wearing their masks in school. Something I am seeing that is proving to be more challenging is staying at a distance from their friends. There are signs and constant reminders about this, but reminders from home could also be helpful. I know it doesn’t feel natural, and it takes a lot of practice, but I also know that our students can do this. Thanks for your help.
Covid Notifications:
The notifications that you are receiving about Covid-19 cases at Garfield include the last date the student was in the building. The date listed is not the date we were notified. We are sending the letters out soon after we are notified.
Volunteers:
Volunteers are slowly trickling in. It’s so great to see them in the building again!
In order to volunteer, you must be on the current clearance list from the district. Here is the link to register: https://www.csd509j.net/students-parents/volunteer/volunteer-application/
