❗Community Input Needed!❗
Typically, the Builders Club and its members will organize and work a fall dance in late October. We did not have a school dance last year in order to adhere to Covid-19 guidelines. However, this year, we are considering a 1.5 hour dance after school on a weekday, but would like community input before making any further plans. The dance would be in the cafeteria with some doors or windows opened for better ventilation. We also typically have 8-10 adult chaperones and the school resource officer.
Please fill out the attached survey to provide Builders Club sponsors and administration with your thoughts on this matter.

❗ 6th Grade Parents ❗
Below is a link to the weekly sixth grade newsletter. It is sent to every parent on Friday evenings via an email from their child's math teacher. If you are not receiving this via Friday emails, it is likely you have not submitted your current email address to the sixth grade team. Updated email addresses can be sent to Mr. Huffstetler at dean.huffstetler@gravetteschools.net.
You may also add the link to this Google Doc to your favorites and check it each Friday. It is updated every Friday afternoon at 3:30pm.

Important announcement regarding this week's FOOD SERVICE: We want to let you know that our food supplier is experiencing supply chain issues. Unfortunately there are several items on this week's menu that we have not been able to get: muffins, beef fingers, chicken nuggets, yogurt, sausage, mini pancakes, and donuts. Our supplier is continuing to try and get these items for us, if there is any way they can. If they are not able to get some items, they will substitute them for another product. We will have plenty of food for our students, however it may not be exactly what's on the menu. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. We will continue to keep you updated!

Families and friends, we need your help to keep our students safe and healthy and attending school! We continue to have large numbers of students being quarantined because a classmate came to school for 3-4 days with symptoms before going to get tested or while awaiting test results. A little sniffle or a sort-of sore throat or a headache that seems harmless, could be COVID. In the past, when one of my children was "a little sick” I would send them to school if they didn’t have a fever. We can’t do that anymore and keep our student body healthy and engaged in onsite learning. The very best way to prevent the spread of COVID and eliminate quarantines is for those with any kind of symptoms to stay home until they know for certain they do not have COVID. Thank you so much for your help! It is greatly appreciated! We want our students in school, learning and growing and having fun with us every day!

❗Parent Reminder ❗ The 21st CCLC starts on September 7th! We are open Monday-Thursday until 5:30, and closed on Fridays. In order to be accepted into the program, we have to have the application and attendance contract filled out and signed before a child can attend! Please check out our newly updated page on the website! Have a great weekend!
