Dear McKelvie Families~
We had a wonderful first week back after April vacation! Kids are back in the swing and ready to learn!
Next week is NHSAS Testing on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning from 9-11. Please help your kids by:
- Getting them to school on time (sitting in homeroom by 8:50)
- Charging Chromebooks every night
- Getting a good night's sleep

Quarantine Protocols
Important Dates:

Masks at Recess:
Beginning Monday, May 10th masks at recess will be OPTIONAL.
Rationale:
- State & County numbers are trending down and Bedford numbers are stable
- Recess is outdoors and allows for ample physical distancing
- All students self-screen prior to attending school and are therefore asymptomatic
- All employees who want to be vaccinated have had the opportunity to do so
- Per DHHS recommendations, we will continue to REQUIRE masks in the buildings.
- Team sports will continue to follow NHIAA protocols.
