Please know they will work come conference time.

Greetings Wolverines,
I am writing you to update you on our present situation at the elementary. Sadly, we have seen positive cases increase among our elementary staff. We have a few who are coming back from their isolation and we just had some other start as we received positive results over the weekend. As a result, we are juggling some staff around to meet needs. Please have patience with us through this time. We pray for staff to recover fully and return soon.
We are looking for some custodial help. We could also use a substitute nurse to help us out when needed. Please let Mr. Slater know at kslater@rvwolverines.org or calling the office 712.372.4656.
Thankfully, we are not seeing an increase among the elementary students and we haven't seen quarantined students through contact tracing testing positive as of yet. We have a tremendous staff who continues to do amazing things under difficult situations. Thank you for your support and understanding.
