We need your help! There are children that are climbing the prek fence or opening the gate to enter the playground. The children are throwing toys over the fence. Big kids are riding the tricycles. A new Barbie playhouse was broken this weekend when boys dumped rocks all over it and knocked it down. The toys do not belong to the school. They belong to the Camden Coop which supplies the playground for prek. Cameras are used to monitor this and we have watched the video. Parents, please keep your children with you when on the playground area while having ball practice or games.
Mrs. Rhonda’s bus will be late picking students up this morning. She will be 15-20 minutes behind her normal schedule. Mrs. Rhonda will verify tardies so they may be excused and breakfast will be served to those arriving by bus late.

The Parkers Chapel School Board voted tonight that effective immediately, masks will be encouraged but not required. We will continue to follow all other recommended guidelines. Social distancing of 3 feet in classrooms when possible will stay in effect. In the event that there is a positive case, we will follow quarantine recommendations (the positive person and those in close proximity will be quarantined unless both had masks on). The cleaning regimen of the campus will stay a top priority. It is extremely important that if a student has any symptoms, the student must stay at home & the school nurse must be contacted.
