Good afternoon Parents and Caregivers of CBSD
This is Dr. Gregg McGough Interim Superintendent.
The District’s Public Health Team was just made aware of a COVID 19 case from the community and through contact tracing it will impact teachers and students at all three buildings. At this time, the schools will not be properly staffed. The district is taking two(2) decisive actions.
1. On Thursday November 19th, the school district is calling for an early dismissal for students at 1PM. The school nurses at each of the three(3) buildings will communicate with those teachers and students who are considered a “direct contact.” The school nurse will contact either you or your student if he or she came into direct contact.
2. The school district is shifting to remote learning on Friday (11.20.2020), Monday (11.23.2020), and Tuesday (11.24.2020). We will re-evaluate next week and will be in contact with all stakeholders by the end of the week.
The district administration appreciates your patience and understanding in dealing with this recent incident.
If this rapid shift presents a hardship for you or your family today, please contact the principal and your student can remain with us until the end of the scheduled school day.
If you have any questions or issues, please contact your building principal.
Have a wonderful day!
