Principal's Note Dear Families, School pictures are here! They will be sent home today in backpacks.
Our drop off is going very smoothly and the line is finished before school starts. If students are dropped off after 7:45 a.m. they will be marked tardy. Parents should park and come in with their child to sign them in. Classroom instruction starts right at 7:45 a.m. Thank you to everyone for following our drop off procedures!
Wayzata School District's Spring Break is April 1 - 9. Students will return to school on April 12. I wish you all a safe and fun Spring Break!
Sincerely, Sarabeth deNeui

Travel Reminder Although the school district is not in a position to monitor your decision to travel, we feel it is important to share the state and national travel recommendations to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep our schools open.
Minnesota Department of Health Travel Guidance Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travel Guidance
While the district cannot and will not require a quarantine upon returning for anyone who travels, the MDH and CDC recommendations provide good safety information for all to consider. Thank you for your support as we continue to do all we can to keep our students and staff safe.
Please keep your child at home if they are sick. The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.
Your child should stay home if anyone in your household or anyone they have been in contact with is sick until COVID-19 is ruled out, or they have received another diagnosis from a medical professional.
Your child should stay home when someone in your household or anyone else they have been in contact with has tested positive for COVID-19 or is awaiting test results.
We will work to accommodate students who are in the in-person learning model who need to quarantine due to close contact. Because each situation is unique, we encourage you to reach out to our Health Para, Cindy Auer, 763-745-5715, if a quarantine is needed.
