Dear Slate Valley Families,
We again thank you for your patience and understanding as we all contend with the ever changing guidance. This is happening nationwide in regards to the Return-to-Play Protocol. While it is still recommended, we no longer require the medical clearance form for your child to return to physical activity including sports, PE, and recess. We encourage you to communicate with your child’s physician after their covid diagnosis, but they will no longer be excluded from physical activity. Please let us know if your child has restrictions following their covid illness, but otherwise they will be able to participate fully in all physical activity. Again, we apologize for this change and please contact your school nurse with any questions.
Sincerely,
Brooke Olsen-Farrell,
Superintendent

Follow-up instructions on how to access remote learning will be forthcoming from Mr. Hall. Thank you for your continued cooperation and patience.
Brooke Olsen-Farrell,
Superintendent
