- Class Lists will be posted on Friday, September 2nd at 4:00pm on the front doors of the school. We are working hard to get a 5th grade teacher hired and we are also registering many new students this week and next.
- Will we be able to walk our kids in on the first day of school?
- Yes! As long as masks are worn, you may walk your child into class. However, we ask that you make it brief so that we do not end up with too many people in the space. Thank you!
- Will we be able to know our child’s teacher vaccination status?
- We are awaiting our district guidance on the details surrounding this mandate. We do not know, yet, how this will be implemented but we will keep you posted on the details as they come.
- Will students be receiving music at Mark Twain now that the schools are split?
- Yes! We have an amazing half-time music teacher and she is very excited to work with your children!

- As of 8.27.21, we are in the process of hiring a new 5th grade teacher. We are also hiring a new Reading Specialist, Counselor and part-time PE Teacher!
- Are parents buying school supplies or are we sending money with our child for teachers to buy supplies?
- For K-3rd, please send $35 with your child or bring it to the front office so that teachers can purchase supplies.
- For 4th & 5th, please review the supply lists that are posted on the front doors of the school and on our school website.
- Will there be parent volunteers this year?
- We know that the vaccination requirement applies to all staff and volunteers. While we wait for the guidance from the district on how we are to implement this, we will hold off on volunteers in the building. We will update you as soon as we know more information.
- All mask requirements will be reviewed monthly by the state. If there are changes, we will communicate to you all as soon as possible.
- Will kids need to wear masks during PE?
- Masks are required indoors at all times, and outdoors when physical distancing is not possible. The guidance states that if students are engaging in activities that could pose danger (example: wrestling, swimming) a mask can be removed. All other activities require that students wear a mask.
- All mask requirements will be reviewed monthly by the state. If there are changes, we will communicate to you all as soon as possible.
