From Superintendent Monteith ~ First Positive COVID-19 Case
As expected, we had our first positive case of COVID-19. Our partners at Public Health contacted the school immediately and followed up with contact tracing. Within a few hours it was determined that no other students or staff would be required to quarantine. Our implementation of mask wearing and social distancing is working! Thank you to our partners in Public Health! Thank you to students, staff and parents for your support in adhering to our plan! Because of your efforts our schools will stay open!!

Free meals for all children!
Yes, you absolutely read that correctly. The school nutrition department, in efforts to make sure food is available to all children, has opted to feed all children for free until Winter Break or until funds run out. In order to make this sustainable we need everyone to fill out a free and reduced form, please. https://family.titank12.com/application/new?identifier=HHCG2A
Funding for schools depends on our free and reduced percentage, this happens to be the time of year when we collect and submit this information to the state.
This move will have an impact on a la carte sales, they will have to cease. This means we will no longer be able to sell individual milk, extra entrees, and adult meals. I hope you can all view this as a small convenience to give up for the greater good for this short term period.
Make sure your student signs up each day during morning attendance to take advantage of these meals.
Be sure to watch for updates about curbside pick-ups!

Special Board Meeting 8/13/2020 @ 6:00 PM @ Wynona Thompson Auditorium re: CKA Rules

Amazing things happen when people like the folks at Nourishing Neighbors and Albertsons Foundation get involved! They gave $5,500 to help Park 6 provide food for children, during summer. Funds are part of Albertsons Nourishing Neighbors Community Relief Initiative to fight food insecurity during the pandemic and beyond. The need is great, but so are our supporters. The support, partnership, and generosity are truly making a difference. Thank you Albertsons Foundation, we are glad to be part of Nourishing Neighbors Family!
