I know we are in the thick of break, but it's always a good idea to get acclimated to athletics! When we return, here is the weekly agenda!
Reminder: Free COVID-19 tests are available in the auditorium lobby today from 2 pm to 6 pm. We will distribute two tests per student while supplies last.

We are excited to participate in the MI Backpack COVID-19 Home Tests pilot program. The purpose of this pilot program is to understand whether sending at-home COVID-19 test kids home with children and families is an effective way to lessen the spread of COVID-19. Families and staff interested in the program can take the pre-survey at: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=h3D71Xc3rUKWaoku9HIl0ZGHyz3HKppAusICATcUVNlUQlVKWFYyVTRBUzNJOVgzRzUzNDFPRk03TCQlQCN0PWcu The MI Backpack Home Tests pilot program will provide free, at-home COVID-19 tests through schools. Participation in this program is optional.
The district is participating in a program offering free voluntary COVID-19 tests at home for families. We can offer two tests per student. The district will operate a drive-through pick-up option outside the auditorium entrance on 12/28 from 2 pm to 6 pm.
A huge thank you to all the staff that made this possible!
