WINTER BREAK
Happy Holidays and New Year
I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Winter Break! Our Students, Teachers and Staff have all earned this time to relax and enjoy being around family and friends. I hope everyone is able to recharge during the Break and return ready in 2023!
To all who are celebrating, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! I am truly excited for what 2023 will bring for STEM Academy. See you in the New Year!
Masks Required: January 3
Dear CUSD staff/personnel and families --
Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases, the flu, and other respiratory illnesses, CUSD will require ALL staff and students to wear masks for the first 10 days after the winter break.
This is a proactive health measure that we hope will keep many of us healthy and in-person learning.
Everyone should be prepared to mask on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. We do not anticipate mask requirements beyond January 17, 2023.
We are also encouraging everyone to take preventative measures which include:
- Using hand sanitizer
- Handwashing, covering mouth and nose when coughing/sneezing
- Staying home if you’re feeling sick
Also, households can now order FREE at-home COVID-19 tests through the federal government.
To order your tests, visit www.covid.gov/tests.
Sincerely,
Dr. Craig L. Parkinson - Superintendent of Schools
