Happy September! Although we are moving into the fall, the weather is not quite mirroring this shift yet; it has been hot. Despite the heat, please enjoy the sunny days as well as time with family and friends.
Due to many families reaching out to me regarding our next steps for increasing in-person learning for students, I wanted to connect with you. While we have continued to see a reduction in local transmission rates and moved to level blue on the dial last weekend, we are now back to level yellow given some increases.
Please join us for our Fort Lewis Mesa SAAC meeting tomorrow, November 18, 2020. The meeting will be via Zoom starting at 11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. See the following information to join the Zoom meeting~
