Agenda Packet Join Zoom Meeting https://us04web.zoom.us/j/77534394827?pwd=p1vHKfOp9Hd8OITKQxhZjC1vvNVTaG.1 Meeting ID: 775 3439 4827 Passcode: qQXW2b 
Please Upgrade Your Child's Mask
If your family has the ability to send your student with any of the following it would help keep your family and the school community safe*:
Here are some places you can order masks/respirators: Project N95 (ProjectN95 Shop Masks) Be Healthy USA KF94 options (Be Healthy USA homepage) AmbrustUSA (AmbrustUSA Shop Masks) they carry mask fitters, which can be used to improve the fit of surgical masks. (Here is their Mask Testing Page) 3M.com [Disposable Respirators] (3M N95 Small) Bona Fide Masks Honeywell (Shop Masks) Rotate Your Masks: It's better not to wear the same mask multiple days in a row. Instead, get a few good masks and use at least a 3-day rotation. Or get 5 (or 7) and assign each one to a different day of the week. Remember to replace surgical masks after 1 day of use, and replace any mask that is showing stains, dirt, wear, or tear. *Although the state has said they will be sending us higher-grade masks/respirators for students, we are not sure if/when that will happen. 
Fake Texts about School Closures
Someone has been sending fake texts about school closures to parents in our county. We currently have no plans to close school. If school were to close, it would be announced by normal channels, including emails from school officials and the school memo. Please do not trust texts from unknown sources. 
Don't forget to bring a water bottle to school!
