Little Shasta Elementary

At Little Shasta we are beginning the last leg of our journey through this crazy, Covid, pandemic year. Today we have just 21 days to go! As much as we have been inconvenienced by the mask wearing, hand sanitizing and daily health checks, we also had a lot of fun this year. Our students were true "sports" and took each challenge on with usually happy, positive attitudes. Their spirits could not be dampened!!

You parents have been awesome too. I can't tell you how much I have appreciated each one of you when it came to keeping your kids home when they got sick. This has been the healthiest school year ever! As far as I know, none of our children contracted the virus this year and besides a few colds, I don't think we even had the usual flu bugs either.

In March I nominated our teachers Mrs. Salvestro and Mrs. Robinson for the Teacher of the Year Award sponsored by the Gamma Nu Chapter of California. I told them about their dedication to our kids by "begging" me to find a way to re-open and stay open this school year. Teachers across the country have been very reluctant to return to In-person instruction, not our two! I was recently notified that both had been granted this prestigious award.

So to celebrate, I would like to invite everyone to a special, end of the year celebration. Please check the details below.

Sincerely,

Todd Clark

Awards, BBQ Dinner

@ 5:00 ~ BBQ Dinner

@ 5:30 ~ Awards

We know it’s a busy time, but come join us. Because we are still under pandemic restrictions, we will be eating picnic style so please bring a blanket, beach chairs or cushions. We will spread out on the field in family groups. Masks will only be required indoors when visiting the classrooms.

If you or someone in your family is exposed to someone with COVID or if any family member is sick with COVID like symptoms - please keep your child at home and let us know. Your child should not return to school until 14 days after the onset of symptoms. I know that may sound harsh but as everyone is aware, even one case at this point could shut us down for months. We are always ready to assist with Independent Study.

COVID cases are on the rise in Siskiyou County once again. Let's all remain diligent with our successful strategies to make it through!

I wanted to make you aware of some up-coming dates.

May 18^th Mrs. R’s class Fieldtrip – Crater Rock Museum
