DPS #170 is using an emergency day on Friday (1/14/22) due to a shortage of staff in our buildings. This day will be made up at the end of the school year, and there will be no remote learning tomorrow. We are hoping that the long weekend will allow our staff levels to return to normal next week. We continue to monitor numbers daily related to Covid. We will see everyone back on Tuesday, January 18th.
Attached are the Covid numbers from the past week. A majority of the positive cases were identified prior to coming back to school on January 6th, so they were not on our campuses. We continue to monitor numbers daily.
