MESSAGE FROM MRS. DUTT
Your child should have brought home an information sheet from the school. If the letter did not get to you, it is available at this website: https://5il.co/dkzx
Currently, the custodial staff are keeping surfaces clean. Bus seats will be wiped down after each morning and afternoon route. In the last months, because of the flu season, the Newell School District staff has already been proactively cleaning surfaces.
I know that the idea of COVID-19 can cause concern. I want to provide information and resources to best help parents and families address the concerns at home, as well. Below are links to specific CDC articles relating to COVID-19 talking points and preventative measures.
