FROM SUPT. RICHARD DENNIS
ELMORE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
I hope everyone had a relaxing Christmas break and are having a great start to the New Year! The increased COVID projections are accurately portrayed in our current return to school numbers.
Since last Friday 54 employees and 107 students report testing positive with COVID. This spike in COVID is expected to continue for several weeks which may force individual schools to shift to a virtual platform as we have done in the past if necessary.
Having said that we continue to encourage everyone to take any necessary precautions, especially those with health issues. The CDC has changed COVID quarantine guidelines and Elmore County has adapted procedures to address the change which can be found on the Elmore County Public Schools Website under COVID Update.
All schools will distribute report cards on Thursday January 13 and EDGE will mail report cards on that same date. Please, follow up with your students’ first semester grades and continue to encourage them to remain actively engaged in second semester.
Be reminded, if you would prefer to get my call outs and other system-wide communications texted to you through Remind, visit the Elmore County Public Schools website and follow the registration process.
We appreciate your support and look forward to an exciting New Year!
Every Student Empowered, Every Student Succeeds.
