Good Afternoon. We have been working closely with VCPH department to schedule COVID 19 vaccines for GRF educators. The GRF faculty and staff are scheduled to receive vaccines on Thursday, January 21, 2021 and Thursday January 28, 2021. In order to get our essential educators vaccinated, we will need to make a change to the remote learning schedule for this week and next. This week, children will participate in full remote learning Wednesday (01-20-21) and Thursday (01-21-21). Next week, students will attend school on Wednesday (01-27-21) and we will do their remote learning day on Thursday (01-28-21). I appreciate your continual flexibility and patience during the pandemic. We are striving to make GRF schools as safe as possible and staff receiving vaccines over the next few weeks is additional safety step that we are taking. Thank you!

Remote learners will follow the same schedule as they did before Thanksgiving. In-person learners will be in the buildings from 8 - 12 Monday - Friday for the next two weeks. In-person learners will need to bring their school issued devices, charged and ready to go. Bus schedules will be the same as they were prior to Thanksgiving. High school students will need to check their final exam schedules.

Join Superintendent Neal on a GRF Family and Community Engagement (FACE) virtual meeting to discuss Remote Learning and Your Child on Monday, November 16th at 6:00 p.m. Dr. Neal is interested in hearing about your experience with remote learning and how the district can better serve you. The possibility that we may return intermittently to remote learning due to the rise in COVID-19 cases is real. Therefore, the GRF District would like to provide an avenue that families can dialogue and share any concerns or ideas so that we can best educate students. If you are unable to attend the virtual meeting, but still would like to give input, please email Dr. Neal at jneal@gobuffaloes.org Remote Learning and Your Child Mon, Dec 7, 2020 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (CST) Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone. https://www.gotomeet.me/JeanNeal/remote-learning-and-your-child You can also dial in using your phone.

Good afternoon, As COVID continues to spike in our area, we will continue to work together to keep our students, staff, and families safe and healthy. Due to the rising numbers of COVID 19 cases impacting our students and staff at Pine Crest, we are unable to continue face to face learning at this time. Pine Crest Elementary including the PreK will move all students to full remote beginning Wednesday, November 11th through Friday, November 20th. Face to face students will return Monday, November 23rd. Face to face students will bring home necessary supplies. Devices will be distributed to our K-2 face to face learners tomorrow during the school day. K-2 remote students can pick up their devices in the Pine Crest gym on Wednesday between 3:00-5:00 p.m. Please enter through the East Gym doors. You must wear a mask or face covering and temperatures will be taken at the door. Breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the week will be provided on Wednesday evening for pick up between 4:00-5:00 p.m. at the cafeteria doors. We will distribute food again on Monday for the week of November 16th. Project Success will be cancelled as well and resume after Thanksgiving break. Again, thank you for working with us as we continue to provide a safe learning environment for all.
