Principal's Corner

Dear Flora Vista Families,

The time has come to say goodbye to 2021! I hope that as the sun sets on this year and rises on your 2022, you are able to enjoy some special traditions with your family over the winter break, or perhaps create some new ones. For me, I look forward to a bit of both - starting tomorrow with my first foray back into tamale-making since my cherished memories of helping my nana in the 1990s! If you missed your chance to pick up your at-home COVID testing kits (for students to test on the Friday and Sunday before we return to school), TODAY (Wednesday) is the last chance, at Farm Lab until 2:30pm. Thank you for doing your part to keep our school community safer - and students learning in person! And remember, if your child is fully vaccinated for Covid-19, you can share that information by using the Student C-19 Vaccination Record or bringing a paper copy to the school office when we return. A fully vaccinated student (defined as two weeks past their 2nd shot) is exempt from quarantine if they are determined to be a close contact to someone who tests positive for COVID-19. They are not required to get tested during a modified at-school quarantine, and they have no restrictions on extracurricular activities. Lastly, if you didn’t yet have a chance to check out this year’s Flora Vista Talent Show, please put it on the calendar over the break! It’s become a fun tradition for my family to gather around with some hot chocolate and enjoy the show. It warms the heart to see the talents of our students. Go Falcons!!

Have a wonderful and safe winter break with your loved ones, and I will see you back in the new year!
