We were informed this morning that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Additionally, this person works closely with all kindergarten students. As a result, the MCHD has asked us to have all KG students quarantine for 14 days. To clarify, the quarantine is only for your KG child. The rest of your family is not required to quarantine form the public. At this time, we are asking parents to pick up your KG child before 3:15 dismissal today.
These students will not be allowed to ride the bus home or attend Boys and Girls Club. Students may be picked up at door 9. Students may return on Tuesday, October 27th. Teachers are sending home iPads and instructional materials with the students today and will be sending an email with more information about instruction soon. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility during these challenging times.

Today we were notified that one of our second-grade teachers has tested positive for COVID-19. In an abundance of caution, we are recommending that all students in this classroom quarantine fourteen days. It is our hope that our masking efforts will prove successful there be no further spread of the disease. We will continue to work with MCHD and take any additional steps they recommend.

Today, October 9th, is the final day for Mrs. Mallory Ulch to serve as the Administrative Assistant in the front office of Bremen High School. Mallory has been employed at BHS since January of 2017, and she said this about her departure: "Bremen is an AMAZING community and we couldn't have asked for a better community to live. My children will continue their education at Bremen, we aren't moving away, so please, keep in touch. I pray you all have a blessed rest of the school year."
Certainly, Mallory's personal/professional skills will be sorely missed by her school family. Please know that Mallory's replacement, beginning on Mon., Oct. 12th, is Karina Jimenez. Karina is a 2017 graduate of Bremen High School.
