Updated Guidance Regarding Mask Mandate

Good Afternoon Dragon Families!

Due to the current lifting of the mask mandate, 21st Century will proceed with this guidance. While masks are no longer required, they will be optional to students and staff. We strongly recommend that you continue to mask if you have any concerns, and the school supports such a decision. The testing company is now on campus daily from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm so we can test students and staff that have concerns or are experiencing symptoms. All other portions of the toolkit are still in place, i.e. the 5 day quarantine for exposure or testing positive. (See our website for the flow chart) I am still the COVID point of contact should you have any questions.

I want to express a tremendous amount of thanks to our families and staff for keeping their students’ home if they are experiencing symptoms or getting them tested. As a result of your diligence, we were never at a point to consider closure. Please continue this practice as we are not completely through this pandemic.

Be safe and healthy!

Parent Notice

Due to the low attendance due to COVID and the anticipation of bad weather I have consulted with the Governance Council President and have decided that on Wednesday and Thursday, February 2nd and 3rd, 21st Century will be on remote learning.  On both days, homeroom will start at 10:15 am.  Teachers will review schedules with students in homeroom..

I want all of our families to be safe and have an opportunity to make arrangements today and not wait until the early hours of the morning. 

I apologize for the inconvenience.
Be safe and healthy.
