Attention Titan Nation - Following the Governor Reynold's press conference today, we are sure there are questions regarding the status of attendance at school activities.
At this time, we are maintaining what is in place. When guidance from IHSAA and IGHSAU arrives, we will consider that and determine what our most appropriate and prudent actions will be.
Thank you for your continued flexibility and support!

What follows is new guidance from Palo Alto County Public Health as of 2 December 2020.
As always, if your child has had an exposure to a person with a positive case of Covid, you should notify the school. Students having met the exposure guidelines will need to quarantine in one of the following two new ways:
1. Students quarantine for 10 days from exposure to the positive person.
2. Students may quarantine 7 days from exposure to the positive person IF they take a Covid test in the last 48 hours of the 7 day quarantine and if the result of the test is negative.
In either situation, the school will help determine the exact date of return and the individual must have remained symptom free during the time of quarantine.
GT Drama still has a few poinsettias left from their annual fundraiser. Cost is $15. Please contact Mr. Benedict to arrange a time to pick yours up!
