Important Reminders
Please be certain your children dress warmly each day. They play outside even in cold weather!
Close contacts now quarantine from school for five days, not including the contact day. Vaccinated students do not need to quarantine as long as they are symptom free.
Questions about the Covid tests from the district office should be sent to the Superintendent’s clerical staff- jstevens@carmelschools.org
Please refrain from picking your children up early. We want them here ALL day! (And it disrupts their education.)
I know how frustrating things can be lately. Please know that we are doing our best and will always make the best decisions we can for our KES’ers. Lately many things are out of our control as a district, but not how much we love your children! Your children keep us going!
