UPDATE
Thank you for your understanding and support during the at-home learning days on January 14 and 18. This decision was based on three main factors,1) a spike in positive COVID cases, 2) student absenteeism, and 3) staff/substitute teacher shortages.

All schools returned to in-person learning on Wednesday, January 19. We will continue to share updates at alpineschools.org/returntolearn. Please review the attached “How Sick Is Too Sick For School?” document as you evaluate your child’s ability to return to school on Wednesday and for the coming weeks. As always, a parent has the prerogative to have their child attend school or excuse them for any reason.

The webpage also contains a link to the current Utah Department of Health “K-12 School Recommendations“ which were updated on January 13. The Test to Stay protocol is currently suspended as directed by state leaders. 

WE NEED YOU!
If you or someone you know is available to help out during these challenging times, we need you! Please consider becoming a substitute teacher. To learn more, go to: ess.com/alpine/. Your child’s school may also have other opportunities such as recess monitoring, classroom support, or other possibilities that are available. Please contact your local school to learn about their needs.

BOARD MEETING
A board meeting to discuss current Covid conditions will be held on Thursday, January 20.
