FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
Hello, Parents and Guardians, I hope you all had a great three-day weekend and a great MLK day. While we were gone the entire campus was deep cleaned as we are still working on preventing the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to provide face masks and shields to students who choose to wear them. We have hand sanitizer in each classroom, and instructional staff has access to portable bottles of hand sanitizer. Additionally, instructional staff are encouraging and monitoring effective handwashing throughout the day. We are strongly encouraging employees and visitors to campus to wear a face mask when they enter the building. I understand that navigating a world with COVID-19 continues to be stressful with all of the unknowns, but please rest assured we are doing our best to keep your student safe while they are at school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The latest information on quarantine procedures can be found later in this newsletter
Hola, padres y tutores, espero que todos hayan tenido un gran fin de semana de tres días y un gran día de MLK. Mientras estuvimos fuera, todo el campus se limpió a fondo, ya que todavía estamos trabajando para prevenir la propagación de COVID-19.

Recomendamos encarecidamente a los empleados y visitantes del campus que usen una máscara facial cuando ingresen al edificio.

Hamjambo, Wazazi na Walezi, natumai nyote mlikuwa na wikendi njema ya siku tatu na siku kuu ya MLK. Tukiwa tumeenda chuo kizima kilisafishwa kwa kina kwani bado tunafanya kazi ya kuzuia kuenea kwa COVID-19. Tutaendelea kutoa vinyago na ngao kwa wanafunzi wanaochagua kuvaa. Tuna vitakasa mikono katika kila darasa, na wafanyakazi wa kufundishia wanaweza kufikia chupa zinazobebeka za sanitizer ya mikono. Zaidi ya hayo, wafanyakazi wa mafundisho wanahimiza na kufuatilia unawaji mikono kwa ufanisi siku nzima. Tunawahimiza sana wafanyikazi na wageni wanaofika chuoni kuvaa barakoa wanapoingia ndani ya jengo hilo. Ninaelewa kuwa kuvinjari ulimwengu ulio na COVID-19 kunaendelea kuleta mkazo na mambo yote yasiyojulikana, lakini tafadhali uwe na uhakika kwamba tunajitahidi tuwezavyo kumweka mwanafunzi wako salama wanapokuwa shuleni. Ikiwa una maswali yoyote, tafadhali usisite kuwasiliana nami. Taarifa za hivi punde kuhusu taratibu za karantini zinaweza kupatikana baadaye katika jarida hili
