this is a Living Document last updated 6/15/22
WE WILL REASSESS THIS POLICY WEEKLY FOR SUMMER 2022 BASED ON
THE ADVICE OF EXPERTS AND RESPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.
OUR PRIMARY GOALS ARE TO NOT HAVE A DISRUPTION IN OUR PROGRAMMING DUE TO A
COVID RELATED STAFFING SHORTAGE, OR CREATE A DISRUPTION IN THE VACATION PLANS OF OUR FAMILIES FOR THE WEEK AFTER THEY ATTEND KIDSTOCK! DUE TO AN UNMASKED EXPOSURE. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
We anticipate the following policies to remain in effect for the weeks of JUNE 20-24, JUNE 27-JULY 1 and JULY 5-8.
