Weekly Staff Memo

Thank you!

• Sherri and Chanel have been doing an outstanding job maintaining the COVID protocols and testing. Thank you for your continued support. We all know that this is not an easy job. 
• Big thank you goes to Becca and Harmony for their help with pictures for the first smore memo. 
• K8 Team, last Thursday and Friday, we had to do lots of shuffling to fill the voids with staffing. Thank you for everyone's flexibility and assistance.

COVID Spike

We expect the spike in COVID numbers to remain elevated for the next few weeks. The WA State Department of Health believes we will not start to see a decline until early to mid-February. Please help us maintain our COVID protocols. This variant is complex, as many individuals show little to no symptoms. Sadly, I have some elderly friends who currently exhibit severe symptoms, and one has been diagnosed with COVID pneumonia. Please continue to be careful. Please review the COVID Quarantine Test chart emailed from Mr. Spear last Tuesday. Here is a link to it:  COVID protocol.

Staff Shortage

• Custodial Staff: Please help by cleaning tabletops and setting garbage in the hall. 
• Transportation: Some drivers are going to be doubling up bus routes. This will cause some students to be delayed arriving at school and others will depart earlier. More information will be provided. 

K8 PBIS Team

Due to a spike in COVID, the PBIS off-site workshop has been canceled for this week.  I am in the process of developing some after-school work sessions. The goal is to review the current behavior expectations and launch our incentive system. Then, in April, this team will attend the PBIS State Conference.
