Well, we finally have arrived at Spring Break. A reminder that the school will be closed until March 29th. I want to thank everyone for their continued support and ensuring we are doing our part to keep our community safe. I would like to also thank our amazing staff at Cultus Lake Community School for the incredible work they have done to support student learning while keeping our school safe and open. I wish everyone a safe and wonderful Spring Break. Looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on March 29th.
Daily Screening
A new K to 12 Health Check Mobile App has been developed and should be used daily to determine if students should attend school. More information can be found on our district website on the COVID page. You can look at this flow chart to see what happens if we have a person who has been in the school confirmed to have COVID-19.
PAC Meeting
Our March PAC meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 6th at 6pm on Zoom. Please go to the following link to attend: https://sd33-ca.zoom.us/j/62676149456?pwd=RUVwdGM1ZTdwcEwzTnRJTVVremMrQT09
