- your child is currently experiencing any signs or symptoms of illness , or
- to report a non-illness-related absence.
- In case of an illness, you will receive an email or phone call from Nurse Maile to discuss your student’s readmission process options.
Out-of-State Travel Reminders
- All students should meet the current State travel requirements
- All students must complete the MSOS Out-of-State Travel Request Form
- MSOS Travel policy provides TWO options for students returning from out-of-state travel:
- Test-to-Stay (no quarantine necessary)

COVID-RELATED PROTOCOL UPDATES
Face masks
- Outdoor Setting: Face Maks will be optional in outdoor settings beginning March 28.
- Indoor Setting: Per HDOH and CDC recommendations, face masks are still required in indoor settings. Please make sure your child has a proper mask to put on once they reach their classroom. To support the transition from indoors to outdoors, students who choose to remove their masks will have the option to store their masks in the school-issued containers that will remain at your child’s desk.

CAMPUS NEWS AND BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
Middle School East-Coast Trip

Summer School Registration is now open to all grade levels. The registration deadline is Thursday, April 14.
Basketball, Volleyball, and Pickleball Court – Blessing Ceremony
The final touches were completed over the spring break and students will gather first thing Monday morning to participate in school-wide student and court blessing. We are excited to finally open up the court for our students to enjoy!
School Roof Repair Project
You may have noticed that our school roof and gutters are in need of some TLC. This project will take place in three phases. The first phase, which was to remove the rusted-out gutters, took place this past spring break. The second phase requires the repair of the concrete spalling under the removed gutters. The final phase will be to replace the roof shingles. Unless a safety issue arises, these final two phases will take place during the summer intersession.
Cafeteria Improvements
This summer we will also be painting the inside of our cafeteria and installing three additional air-conditioning units. Stage improvements will also be made. If you are able and willing to offer your handyman/handywoman talents for this project, please contact Mrs. Rufo at [email protected].
