Well, we had done so well, but at the end of the day today HHS got hit again. A positive student and a positive staff member! The student took out 1 (2 more quarantined but still allowed to attend school) classroom contacts, 6 (2 HS and 4 Elem) bus contacts, and the bus driver -- all due to improper wearing of masks by the individual as well as those quarantined. The staff member only impacted 2 students with quarantine (outside of school contact). We will still have school tomorrow as planned - remember 1:20pm dismissal!
Please remember that if you choose to attend tonight’s Varsity basketball games vs. Canton that masks are mandatory at all times and this mandate will be enforced unless your eating. Please help us protect activities and wear your mask!! GO COUGARS!!
