In English class this week, students were given an assignment that consisted of a list of questions that reviewed literary terms and figurative language. Each answer then determined what color you were to fill in a section of the mandala. Correct answers led to a beautiful overall pattern. This was a fun, and visual, way to start off with a review of terms where students could work collaboratively on the questions, but then finish the artwork independently.

Effective August 11, all faculty, staff, students, and visitors are required to wear masks indoors and while on school transportation, regardless of vaccination status if they are in classrooms with students present or indoor gathering spaces. Masks are not required outside or if alone in classrooms, workspaces, and offices. The policy will be reviewed at every regularly scheduled board meeting beginning Sept. 20th, 2021 and rescinded when the infection rates in the county make it no longer necessary.
With a modified quarantine, which has been approved by the Labette Health Department, no one exposed in school while properly masked will be required to quarantine or test unless they are symptomatic.
