Weekly Update 9.27 – 10.1 – Clover Garden School

This is the last week before our second Academic Break. Please make sure that you are reminding your students that ALL work must be turned in and completed this week. Work is due by Friday, 10/1. Do not procrastinate and wait until the last minute. Report Cards will go out in October for Quarter 1.

Covid-19 Updates:

This past week was not a great one for us at CGS in regards to Covid-19. Covid-19 infiltrated our athletics program and quickly placed a group of our students in quarantine. Please make sure that you are reminding your student of the importance of mask-wearing properly and at all times. Wearing their masks properly and consistently helps keep them in the building! Due to the increasing Covid-19 numbers and concern for the winter months ahead, CGS has decided to begin Covid-19 testing on site. This testing option is voluntary for our CGS families, but is another step in helping to keep our students on campus. We will be releasing additional details in regards to what “Covid-19 testing” will look like at CGS. We are looking to try and add additional layers of protection and mitigation strategies as we can to keep our students on campus and keep them healthy. If your student is vaccinated, please reach out to Mrs. Cox so that we can add a copy of their vaccination card to their student medical records for reference in the case that they are identified as a close contact to a positive Covid-19 case. We appreciate your continued diligence in keeping your student out of school and at home if they are experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19. If you have been exposed to Covid-19 and/or your student is a close contact, please do not WAIT to contact the school. That puts other students in danger if we are not able to complete our contact tracing in a timely manner and remove students from the classroom before potential spread of the virus. We appreciate your patience as we continue navigating this pandemic.

Clover Garden School Mission Accepted Program

Middle and High School Students will kick off our “Mission Accepted” program and initiative on October 1^st 2021. This NEW program is aimed in helping our students prepare for their long-term futures. Mission Accepted is designed to educate our Middle School students about high school and the opportunities that Clover Garden offers them and High School students about college and career opportunities that await them after graduation from high school. Education is the main focus, but we also want to excite students about the potential that they harness in order to make their big dreams happen. Mission Accepted will help provide the skills and tools our students need to succeed. During our first event on Friday, October 1st, we will have eight colleges/universities on campus virtually. Representatives from East Carolina, UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, Elon University, Greensboro College, Appalachian State, and NC A&T will answer student questions, give virtual tours, and educate our ninth through twelfth graders on their respective campuses, the application process, and more. There will be other sessions hosted by CGS faculty and staff that discuss searching for an applying for scholarships, paying for college, and more. We are excited about this program and future events to come this year!! If you have questions regarding this program please email Mr. Baker, Mrs. Reagan or Ms. Peel.
