April 3rd Guest - On Wednesday April 3rd, 2023 American Idol contestant Aden Boyer, will be at school to share a message of acceptance, inclusivity, and perseverance. We will run a schedule that has 34 minute class periods and a 45 minute advisory so that all classes will be able to see him. Here is the altered schedule. If you see major issues with you schedule please contact Dawn Seehafer Monday or Tuesday to discuss. Coverage in the theater will be difficult. I am asking all teachers that if you are free during one of the performances that you please attend, spread out and help with supervision. Here is a clip of Aden's story on American Idol.

New Covid guidance: The CDC has now changed their COVID guidance recommending that positive COVID cases isolate until they are 24 hours fever free and symptoms are improving. DHS recommendations will match that information and they are working on updating their website now. As a district, we will follow these new guidelines and will continue to mark students' attendance as EX until they return to school. We will continue to remind our students and staff to stay home when they are ill and use good hand hygiene.

Pride Tickets: All staff are asked to send three Pride tickets to students per week. Use the rotation calendar to help provide an equal rotation. Teachers are welcome to send more than directed on the calendar. This action step should increase the amount of positive feedback parents and students hear about all the good they are doing.
