Within the past 24 hours, the high school was notified that 3 of our students have tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, the high school administration conducted contact tracing and individually notified those students and their parents who would be considered close contacts of these positive cases. The most recent protocols for quarantining students were followed with the assistance of staff from Akron Children’s Hospital. All high school students, regardless of their contact with COVID-19 positive students, will receive the linked letter below tomorrow morning notifying them of this information. If you should have any questions about our COVID-19 protocols and procedures, please contact your child’s school. https://5il.co/r484

Recently, our Middle School and High School art teacher, Mrs. Goodchild, had an article published in High School Art magazine (April 2021) about her teaching practices during the pandemic. It is very clear that Mrs. Goodchild's creativity in the classroom goes beyond just teaching students art. Congratulations, Mrs. Goodchild!

Also, this past week students in Mrs. Miller’s class completed industry credential training to receive their Rise Up certification. With this certification, students are expanding their graduation portfolio and some students may be eligible for pay increases at their current places of employment.
