Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

From the Head of School
Dear Prince Families:

We are excited to welcome our students back this Tuesday and return to the familiar routine of teaching and learning! Our campus has remained very active over the break with the varsity football team winning the state championship and our basketball teams’ seasons well underway.

We will resume our COVID-19 safety precautions that served our community so well the first half of the year. The virus infection rates in our service are currently the highest, ever, since this pandemic began last March, and it is realistic to anticipate our future student quarantine numbers will increase as a direct result. As we have learned, children are the least susceptible to this virus, and if they do contract it, their symptoms are often milder compared to older populations. We have sound procedures in place, our team is well trained and efficient, and we will continue to place students’ safety at the forefront of our decision-making processes.

Scientific studies are replete with conclusions on the direct link between wearing a mask and lower infection rates. For the welfare of their classmates, students must continue to arrive at school masked, and any unmasked student will be sent to their respective grade office to purchase a cloth mask for $2.00. Your continued partnership in this regard helps us provided a cleaner, healthier school environment for all students thus providing them the many advantages of in-person instruction.

Attitude is a choice, and we enter 2021 with great optimism and hope! Yes, we will wear masks, continue to wash our hands, clean surfaces, and make reasonable decisions regarding safety and risk, but we will live our lives and go about our routines. Be encouraged; we serve a God much larger than the challenges before us, and we are on the road to recovery! We look forward to seeing you Tuesday morning.

With warm regards,
Seth Hathaway, Ed.S.

Campus Life
Dear Parents,

As we come to the close of 2020, I pray each of our Prince families has been able to count the many blessings God has provided this year. Thanks to God’s grace and your partnership, we count the end of a full semester of our in-person learning with your students as one of our greatest blessings.

Looking forward to the new year and the end of our Christmas break, we must ask our Prince families continue to be diligent in thinking of our school family and respecting the safety measures set forth by the Georgia Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and our school, for protecting your student and our community from the risks and consequences related to the COVID-19 virus.

During this last week of break, we ask that you please notify us here if your student tested positive for COVID-19 since we left school on December 18, 2020, or if he or she had a known positive exposure to COVID-19 to report that information here. Your collective efforts will ensure the safety and success of our in-person learning environment and activities in 2021.

Let’s remember to wash our hands, wear our masks, and keep our distance as we ring in the New Year. We are looking forward to celebrating a healthy 2021!

Sincerely,

Sheryl Carson RN, BSN
