Student Comments Go Live Wednesday at Noon Principal Kim Randolph and the Grade Level Deans encourage all parents to visit My Backpack on Wednesday at noon to review comments from teachers regarding their students. Faculty have worked diligently all semester to provide individualized feedback for all parents and students. Holiday Travel - Consider the risk to your family and others when selecting a holiday destination, and adhere to health and safety guidance, such as wearing a mask at all times except when eating or drinking; avoiding close contact by staying at least six feet apart from anyone not in your household; practicing good hand hygiene; and avoiding contact with anyone who is sick. For specific guidance on international travel and quarantines, please refer to the CDC website , and read Principal Kim Randolph's full message here.
