"Slate Valley students are sending a sweet message to children in Ukraine. Recently, students across the district have been making care packages containing maple candy to send children living in the war-torn eastern European country."

Dear Slate Valley Staff and Families,
Unfortunately Covid-19 is making a resurgence in our area. If anyone is experiencing symptoms, even if you think it is just allergies or other illness, it is still recommended that you test to be sure. You can request tests from the school if you need them. If you are unable to test, you should stay home if you have symptoms until you feel better.
You can also choose to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, keep your hands away from your nose and mouth, clean surfaces frequently and distance yourself where you feel it is necessary.
Please see the Department of Health website for more in depth information. Hopefully by following these strategies, we can keep this resurgence to a minimum.

Please reach out to your school nurse if you have any questions.
Best,
Brooke Olsen-Farrell
Superintendent

8th grade spent the day visiting CCV in Rutland. They got a taste of college classes, learned more about higher education and options they have as they head to high school and beyond.
Yesterday the 7th and 8th graders were transported 50 years ago to 1972! They had a chance to explore older tools and technologies like antique encyclopedias, Viewmasters, Litebrites, and rotary telephones. They all had a blast trying to type their names exactly in the center of a page on a manual typewriter. Only a handful were able to do it! It was a fun blast from the past.
We're hiring!
