Dear Parents and Guardians:
The recent numbers from Greater St. Louis County decreased to 18.36. The numbers for our area are not impacting the school. For this reason, we will continue providing educational services as we have been.
On Tuesday, October 20th, our students and staff will be practicing our annual evacuation drill. Typically, we walk to the New Life Church and meet inside. This year, we will walk to the New Life Church and teachers will talk through the procedure, in case of a real evacuation, outside of the church and will practice social distancing.
Mark your calendar for November 11th. This will be picture retake day. Retakes are taken in the mornings. The photographer isn’t usually in the building long as there aren’t many retakes.
Influenza vaccination will be available November 4th at Floodwood School through Itasca Public Health. Additional information will be sent home at the end of October.
It was a nice little break for everyone. I hope your families had time to relax and enjoy spending time together.
Please contact us with questions or concerns. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Next Friday's (10/23) football game versus Onamia has been canceled due to the Onamia football team being in quarantine for 14 days. We are looking for another team to play that evening. More info to come. Stay tuned.
Just a reminder that Monday's (10/19/20) volleyball match versus Silver Bay has been canceled due to a positive COVID test on the Silver Bay team. The SB team is in quarantine for 14 days.

Kindergarten students recently created a huge map of our Floodwood community! This project had students apply character traits they are learning about in class: Making Improvements, Persevering through Challenges, Thinking Creatively, and Cooperating with Others.
Our map is a work in progress, but we couldn’t be more proud of this initial phase. Way to go, Kinder Crew!
