Per San Bernardino County guidance, people who are immune-compromised, who have pre-existing conditions, or are age 65 and older should avoid Halloween activities. Individuals who are feeling sick or believe they might have been exposed to COVID-19 must stay at home (isolate) and may not participate in these activities.
Good Morning Rattler Families,
A few updates/reminders:
- Next week is fall break. There is no school Oct. 12-16. We return to regular classes on Monday 10/19
- Today is the last day of 1st quarter. Progress report cards will be mailed out after Fall Break. We will send out a text the day they are mailed.
- Students will no longer be taking their own attendance after the break. Attendance will be taken by teachers only. Please continue to encourage your student to attend all Zoom classes and complete assignments.
Wishing you all a safe and restful break next week!
After fall break, students will no longer have the ability to check-in on Infinite Campus. Teachers will continue to take attendance based on the students that attend their Zoom sessions - so make sure that you are getting to class on time and attending every class!
