Parents, We need to ask for your assistance again this year when dropping off or picking up your students. Please do not block any driveways while you are waiting your turn to move forward and let your child(ren) out. There is also a retirement home located next to Monroe that needs to have their driveway available for a multitude of reasons. We were notified today that the Casey Police Department will begin monitoring this situation and potentially giving tickets to those in violation of blocking private drives. Please help us by making sure that you allow for all driveways along the south side of Monroe street between Rt 49 and the school to remain open and clear. We appreciate your assistance in this matter.

C-W families, Please remember, there are situations in which your student will need to stay home. These include: · If your student has symptoms of COVID (fever 100.4 or greater, new onset of moderate to severe headache, shortness of breath, new cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, new loss of sense of taste or smell, fatigue from unknown causes, muscle or body aches from unknown causes). · If anyone in the home has symptoms of COVID. · If your student has been tested for COVID and is waiting for results. · If anyone in the home has been tested for COVID and is waiting for results. · If your student is in quarantine. If one of these situations apply to your student, please call the school nurse for further instructions. Thank you!
