Dear Paw Paw Families-
Due to concerns regarding the spread of COVID in the building, Paw Paw Early Elementary School (grades Y5/K-2) will be closed to in-person learning this week, Monday, March 22 through Friday, March 26. After a positive COVID case in the building was reported this weekend, the EE administration began contact tracing, which uncovered at least 5 other probable COVID cases, indicating that the infection was likely spread to these individuals in the building. After consulting with the local health department, it was decided that a building closure was warranted to avoid the potential for further spread.
Wednesday through Friday this week will be remote learning days for Early Elementary students. There will be no remote instruction on Monday and Tuesday.
Parents will be able to pick up Chromebooks and other materials that students will need for their remote learning between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 23 in the Early Elementary office.
Please note that meal pick up this week will take place on Monday between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m.at the high school. All Early Elementary families are welcome to pick up meals for the week for their Y5/K-2nd graders during this time.
We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience that this closure causes our families. Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Rick Reo
Superintendent
Spring Conferences are next week Wednesday & Thursday, March 24th & 25th. Paw Paw Early Elementary will dismiss at 12:25pm. There is a full day of school on Friday, March 26th.
