Principal’s Report - Hien Larson:

• Busy with students absent with Covid.  Hien is helping school nurse with contact tracing. Many factors to consider for tracing such as how long in proximity with a student who tested positive, seating charts, etc. Today’s Covid dashboard has 73 ACMS students with active Covid, and many more out on quarantine.
• Field Trips are still being planned. 7th and 8th grade ropes course.  6th grade something outside, but not an overnight trip.  Will be asking PTO to help with transportation for around $2000 per grade.
• Winter dance postponed until February 11th due to current School District Covid restrictions.
• Breaking Down the Walls assembly is postponed until next year because uncertainty with Covid-19 makes signing a contract too risky financially.
• Minimum days coming up for Middle and High schools January 20 and 21.
• Arts for the Schools live music performance on March 10th outside.  Asking PTO for financial support around $800.

• New items are in:
  • Beanies (quantity 20) cost $17.90, sell for $25
  • Flat brim caps (quantity 20) cost $17.35, sell for $25  
  • Pura Vida bracelets (quantity 50) cost $3, sell for $5
• Need to pay for Beanies and caps, and still need to pay Kels (Twin Forks Trading) for sweatshirts, etc.
• Re-order more sweatshirts?  Will probably wait until next school year
