Parent News 8/31

DHS Tuesday News Blast 8/31/21

 

Dear Dimond Families:

 

We are looking forward to the Open House on Thursday, September 2 from 5:30 pm-7:00 pm.  We will not have a formal program, so please proceed to your students' classes.  In addition, there will not be a bell schedule.  Feel free to visit teachers in any order.  If you can, please look up your students' schedules for a guide in navigating the school.  In the event, you need a schedule we will provide one.  Maps will be provided as well.  Note that this is an opportunity to visit the school and meet teachers.  Teachers should have any necessary handouts for you to take.  Unfortunately, the time doesn't allow for conference-like conversations.  Parents should reach out to the counselor or teachers with any concerns or request a conference to address concerns.  See you on Thursday!

 

If your student has been in quarantine, please make sure to provide proof of a negative COVID test to the nurse. We will be working diligently to notify families of positive cases within students’ classrooms. It is important to be aware that fully vaccinated students will not need to quarantine unless showing signs of symptoms. If you receive a notification letter and have questions, please contact the administration or the nurse.
