Thursday, January 6, 2022 Dear Mt. Healthy City School District Parents and Guardians, Due to a rise in illnesses and the quarantines that are associated with COVID 19 cases, in-person instruction is becoming a challenge. On Friday, January 7, Mt. Healthy City School District will not have classes for students. On Monday, January 10 through Friday, January 21, the district will shift to remote learning. Students will return to the classrooms for in-person learning on Monday, January 24. Students and parents/guardians will receive remote learning instructions from building principals and teachers. If you have technology needs from ANY of the buildings (Chromebooks, hotspots, or troubleshooting), please go to the Jr/Sr High School cafeteria during school hours. We understand the stress this places on parents during remote learning, and we appreciate your consideration as we work together to provide a safe learning environment for our students and staff.

Due to a significant number of COVID cases/quarantines the Jr/Sr High will be remote on January 5, 6 and 7th. Computers for Jr/Sr High students can be picked up by driving down the one-way alley by the cafeteria between 8 am and 4 pm on January 5th. Students at North Elementary, South Elementary, and the Early Learning Center will remain in person at this time. Elementary students will receive their computer to take home tomorrow, January 5th.

Due to a high number of illnesses, Mt. Healthy City School District will be closed until after Christmas break. Staff and students should not report to the buildings. Staff will return on Monday, January 3 and students will return on Wednesday, January 5. We wish you a Happy Holiday! Thank you!

Dear Mt. Healthy City School District Families, We hope that your family had a restful and meaningful Thanksgiving holiday. As we look forward to returning to classes on Monday, Nov. 29, we again ask for your help in keeping our students and staff healthy and safe. With family gatherings, travel out of town, and more social contact over the holiday, our community could see an increase in exposure and positive Covid-19 cases. Therefore, we are asking Mt. Healthy CSD families to show extra diligence in keeping students at home if they exhibit any symptoms of the virus. The most common symptoms our nurses have seen are sinus congestion, sore throat, headache, cough and fever. Again, please do not send your child to school with any of those symptoms. Students should also remain at home if they were exposed to a positive case outside of school, unless they are fully vaccinated and have no symptoms. Remember that the mask-to-stay rule (where symptom-free students can stay in school if they wear their mask correctly) only applies to exposure within the school setting. We ask that all students bring two masks with them to school. One they wear heading into school for the day and one in their backpack. That way, even if they are identified as a close contact during the school day, they will be able to remain at school. Finally, please remember that you can instantly report your child testing positive or being a close contact by contacting the nurse at your student(s) school. Thank you again for your support, and your ongoing consideration for all of our Mt. Healthy CSD students and staff. May your family continue to enjoy the holiday season!

They are to return back to school on Tuesday, November 30th to a new and improved classroom. Also, please mark your calendars for the official Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Mt.

Attached is a link to a video from the USDA that discusses the current state of food and paper supplies. Mt. Healthy Food Service Department is experiencing manpower, food and paper supply shortages on a daily basis. Please remind your students that we are doing our best to serve the posted menu but may have to substitute food items. As for the trays, plates, boats, sporkettes and other paper supplies, we are limited to the number of cases we can order weekly. Currently, we are cleaning the shelves at local Walmart and Sam's stores weekly to supplement our inventory. Thank you all for your support and understanding during these difficult times. Mt.
