Please see the attached letter about a positive Covid-19 case at the school. Covid-19 continues to be very present in our community and surrounding areas and we are seeing our hospitals reach their limits on the care that they can provide.

We are going to be VIRTUAL for Wednesday and Thursday as we are experiencing a lot of stomach illnesses here at the school in students and staff. All classrooms will continue to be scrubbed from top to bottom in an effort to mitigate the spread of all illnesses.

Reminders: 1. Please keep the office informed of excused absences. Please give the school a call and leave a message. (906)492-3353 2. If your child is sick, please keep them home and call us to excuse their absence. Please do NOT send any student with any symptoms to school. 3. Please take a moment to email Mr. Gross emergency contact information. We have had several instances where we cannot get a hold of anyone for emergencies. Please email vgross1@eupschools.org Name, Phone numbers and relationship status (IE Aunt, Grandpa, Family Friend) Thank you!

We have had several incidents in the past where we have tried to contact parents/guardians via phone, text and email. Communication is very important here at the school. Please send us updated cell phone numbers, emergency contacts (the more the better) and updated medication notifications. Please do this immediately!! If you would like a form, please let me know. Mr. Gross vgross1@eupschools.org

Good morning. We have a few positive covid cases at the school today that were found through testing. Those individuals have gone home to quarantine and the Health Department has been contacted so they can start tracing close contacts. At this time, we are still above our 75% attendance mark and will keep going as planned. We shall see what the next few hours hold.

Whitefish Township Community Schools will not be in session today due to the icy roads and blowing snow. This is for Monday, January 10, 2022. We will see you all tomorrow!
