Please see the attached letter in regards to Executive Order 2020-185, requiring K-12th grade students to wear a facial covering while in classrooms. This order will take effect on Monday, October 5, 2020.
In order to be able to provide instruction for students on a daily basis, we are in desperate need for substitutes in all areas! Without subs, we will be forced to transition to remote learning days when staff are out sick.
We've linked below the state of Michigan requirements for substitute teachers. Please feel free to share widely!
