By: Dan Wille, Assistant Principal We are pleased to be entering September having had minimal impacts to school day routines due to COVID. Consistency in school has been absent over the last 18 months, and we have been reacting to circumstances outside our control. However, we are nearly a month into the school year and we remain at full capacity with all extracurricular activities operational. It is our sincere hope that we continue functioning without any further disruptions to school operations. For this reason, we are bringing preventative measures to the attention of our community in an attempt to minimize the spread of COVID, especially the Delta variant. At the county level, Jefferson County Public Health recently began requiring that all students participating in after school athletics and activities test weekly for COVID. Students are not subject to these tests if they provide proof of vaccination to the school. You can learn more about these weekly tests HERE. As a school, we are bringing attention to how students wear their masks. Correctly wearing masks in the building is the best preventative measure we can take to ensure school day routines are maintained, and bring consistency back to the educational world. Additionally, the Jefferson County Public Health order JPH-PHO-21-002 mandating masks in schools made wearing masks correctly part of the Code of Conduct. Over the last three weeks, D’Evelyn faculty and staff have worked with students to encourage them to wear their masks over their noses and mouths. However, we are noticing a trend that many students are choosing to wear masks incorrectly. For this reason, we are asking families to encourage their students to wear masks correctly during the school day following the below images as a guide to understanding expectations. Students habitually wearing masks incorrectly will be referred to the main office and subject to disciplinary measures. Our intention is not to punish students. Rather, our efforts are to ensure we can continue providing students an exceptional education experience by preventing quarantines, and building closures, to the fullest extent possible.
Thank you for your efforts to ensure the 2021/2022 school year continues without interruption due to COVID.
