CPM families:

Great news! As stated in Dr. Cutaia’s message from 3/12/22, we will be able to begin opening up our classroom instructional spaces and school learning communities with regard to some planned adjustments to the previous COVID related restrictions - starting March 28th.  At the elementary level we have missed having our families in the buildings and we are excited to welcome back  families and visitors in our building, hold activities after school, and work with our PTAs for Spring events.  Field trips and celebrations of learning will also start to be planned.  

For the time being, students will continue to have lunch in their own classrooms and we will hold off on all school gatherings as we are not yet comfortable with groups of 100 plus students being together with the lower vaccine rate among our elementary students.  We have created social opportunities within each classroom by placing the students in small groups where they also have their lunches.  Students also have more social opportunities when they go out for recess, including with their grade level peers from other classrooms.  (Please note student groups can now also intermingle during recess times.)  

We are excited by the changes in our classrooms and across the building -- and look forward to sharing with you all the great activities that will be happening throughout the spring.
