Good Evening,
Please be aware that it appears that our state is currently experiencing an increase of Covid-related cases. As a result, we have received the following information from the State Department of Education:
"When student or staff tests positive for COVID-19:
» Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19, should stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others.
» Students are not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities while in isolation and potentially infectious.
» Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or day tested if asymptomatic.
» Students and staff may return to school if they:
› Stayed home and isolated for at least 5 full days
› Are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever reducing medications)
› Have symptoms that are improving
» It is recommended that a mask be worn days 6-10.
» Individuals who were severely ill or immunocompromised should stay home and isolate for 10 days."
Thank you for adhering to the aforementioned response to Covid-related illnesses, as doing so protects all of us.
Sincerely,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr., - Superintendent
Senior locker decorating-
We realize that senior week is a long time away, but some of you are early planners. So we want to get this information out early. With the installation of new lockers, we will NOT be using any tape on lockers. The tape leaves behind adhesive and sometimes damages the paint.
Locker decorations need to be made with magnets on them. You can buy magnet tape and magnet buttons that can be added to poster board. Below are a few examples of magnets and posters. Thank you for supporting the effort to take good care of our lockers.
Bearcat ESports is kicking off 2023-2024 and looking for new and returning members! A WV League survey is due by end of day, September 5. We are interested in hearing from our Grade 9-12 Bearcats about their participation in Fall and/or Winter Leagues and game title preferences. The potential game titles are posted on the cafeteria doors. Please add your name to the sheets on Tuesday; a reminder will be announced.
Fall pre-season will begin the week of September 18 with dates to be determined based on the selection of game titles made by the WV League. Fall season begins the week of October 2. Regular season runs for 6 weeks with 2-3 playoff weeks after the Thanksgiving holiday. Game queues are generally scheduled after school at 4:00.
For more information, please see Mrs. Ward or Sra Romine.
