We have reached the end of a quick first quarter and are headed into the second half of the first semester. We have several important pieces of information in this communication. Please reference The Week Ahead HERE for upcoming events and other announcements.

We want to thank you for your support and prayers as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 challenges. We look forward to the return of the first, third and fourth grades that have been remote this past week.

We appreciate your continued cooperation with the COVID-19 protocols. We are evaluating the situation daily. Amanda Byrd (School RN) is doing an excellent job managing the many variables presented. This message contains a few important dates and new protocols that begin Monday, September 13, 2021.

Thank you for your cooperation with the implementation of the recent COVID-19 protocols. We had to react to several positive cases and subsequent contact tracing. Proactively, remote learning has served to protect us from further infections.

Emmanuel is experiencing the same things that we are seeing throughout the state of Ohio as well as Clark County. There has been a steady increase in positive cases in Clark County resulting in quarantining and contract tracing.

I am reaching out to make you aware that we have had a Covid exposure among some of our teams. After conducting contract tracing, we were able to determine that there are several players and coaches that are being quarantined based on the Clark County Combined Health District guidelines.

The first day of school is approaching quickly. Our teachers are in session this week with professional development and in-service days. The focus of our professional development is specialized Google training to assist us for the upcoming school year. We are excited about preparing for the first day of school, August 24th
