The surge of Covid on our school has been slowed. 

Thank you very much for your understanding and support during this critical time.  If you or your child are suffering from an ailment, please monitor and get additional medical help if necessary.  If your child continues to show symptoms, continue to check them and notify the office.  If you have multiple children, Covid does not hit at once.  

You have been wonderful at this practice! Please continue to inform us if you have suspected Covid, influenza, RSV or other ailment in your household.  Your proactive measures have been key to helping everyone in our district.

All eligible Minnesotans are encouraged to get vaccinated and boosted. Minnesota is offering boosters at the state’s Mall of America (16+) and MSP Airport (18+) vaccine sites as well as other state-run and state-hosted 5- to 11-year-old vaccine clinics, including those hosted at schools.

Minnesotans can find boosters anywhere vaccines are offered. For ages 18 and over, the booster dose does not have to be the same brand of vaccine as your initial series.
