November 22, 2021
Good Afternoon,
This notification is sent to inform you that school will be held remotely on November 29 and 30, 2021 for all kindergarten through grade twelve students. This decision was made after reflection of current data, as discussed in the notification sent out Saturday, November 20, 2021.
We ask for your assistance as we head into November break. Please continue to monitor your student for any symptoms over the next several days. It is very important that students do not return to school on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 if they are symptomatic. There has been an increase in the number of students attending school with symptoms across each school building. That puts our student body and staff in a position to not only be considered a close contact, but also at risk for developing symptoms themselves. There is an uptick in positive cases across the state and we would like to keep the cases in our district at bay, but we need your help to do so.
Here are the most prevalent symptoms to monitor in your student:
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that ranges from mild to severe. It can be more severe in adults 60 years and older and in those with underlying conditions. The virus mainly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes and an uninfected person breathes in the virus. Signs and symptoms include:
• fever or chills • new loss of taste or smell • cough • sore throat • congestion or runny nose • fatigue • nausea or vomiting • muscle or body aches • diarrhea • headache • shortness of breath/ difficulty breathing
Please be looking for further correspondence regarding the schedule or other school based information from your school administrator and/or your student’s teacher. In the meantime, should you require chargers for the technology device your student will be using, please reach out directly to the classroom teacher. The Athletic Department at Noble Middle School and Noble High School will also provide additional information.
Finally, meals will be provided for the two remote days. Below is information and sign up form for families who wish to participate. Please note that there are three pick up locations.
Meals will be available for pick up from 3 locations from 11:00-12:30 am.
Noble High School (bus drop off circle)
Noble Middle School (student drop off by kitchen door)
Hanson Elementary (student drop off by kitchen door)
Meal sign-up is required. Students do not need to be with you at the time of pick up, but we will require their names as proof of enrollment at MSAD 60. Unfortunately, at this time we can no longer provide meals to students who are not enrolled at MSAD 60.
