Greetings Naquag Families,
December is always an exciting time at Naquag! Our children are progressing and definitely happy to be at school. Thank you for your collaboration with reporting Covid “close cases and quarantines. We diligently continue to monitor “close contacts” at school and follow District protocols. We’ll be practicing our “Shelter in Place” this week, staying in the classrooms and additional steps in the event of an emergency. Our stellar teachers will continue to skillfully guide our children through these safety practices.
Our community service, the “Mitten / Glove / Hat” collection is amazing! Thank you for your generous donations. We’ll be celebrating our successful collection on Friday, 12/17 with a “Slipper Day”! PLEASE WEAR REGULAR SHOES TO SCHOOL.
Have a positive, rewarding week!
