Check out the latest update from the Oregon Health Authority at https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORDHS/bulletins/2a390fb. This bulletin includes a link to the World Health Organization's COVID-19 mythbusters page.
In-person classes for CAL SD students remain off limits as Lane County COVID-19 rates continue record spike. The September 22 Metric Tracker is at https://5il.co/jtz2. For information on Applegate Elementary's water line break, please see the story in the news column.
To exhibit the amount of flexibility we all need to demonstrate this year, it became obvious to staff that students and teachers need more transition time in-between classes. Our classes will start at the exact same time, but we will have them ending earlier, giving students nine minutes to transition rather than four. A link to the new schedule is below.
Thank you for understanding,
Principal Rodemack
