Good afternoon Piedmont families,

This is Principal Eley with this week's updates. Monday, January 17th we will be observing Martin Luther King day, so there will be no school for students or staff. Tuesday, January 18th is an optional workday for our teachers, so no school for students. Wednesday, January 19th is the first day of second semester. Before students arrive, please have them check their schedules to note changes in social studies or science classes as well as related arts' shifts. 

As we continue to work with the health department in the identification and communication of COVID close contacts, we want to make sure our families are aware of the communication process. In the event a student is identified as a close contact, an email is sent to our families that provides information in regards to exposure rate and return to school information. Oftentimes our families are communicating that this email is going straight to Junk, so please be sure to check these often. Of course we are following up with our families with additional communications, but this may be the next school day that this happens. Again, we want to make sure you were all aware of what we've been seeing with this process to hopefully support you moving forward. 

Finally, please save the date and join us on Tuesday, January 25th from 4:00-8:00pm at Zaxby's in Monroe for a Piedmont Spirit Night. A percentage of all food sales will be donated to the school PTO. Dine in and Drive thru are both included. 

I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday. 

Have a great evening.
