From The Principal's Desk:
Covid 19 has reared its ugly head for the start of the school year. It is very important to keep an eye on symptoms and inform us with information related to symptoms or test results. The protocols are a bit different this year and we will do our best to keep you informed.
Our school is fully masked during the school day which means that quarantines from school will occur in only a few exceptions. We will be watching these issues closely and will contact parents when there are close contact concerns.

Palermo Consolidated School is pleased to support Chris Bannigan in his efforts to raise awareness and funds. See below for more information.
The Jackson Laboratory is partnering with a UK-based organization called Hope for Hasti. Hasti is a 9-year old with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, a rare developmental and cognitive disorder. Her father, Chris Brannigan, is walking from Bar Harbor, ME to Camp Lejeune, NC to raise awareness and funds to develop a gene therapy for this childhood disorder. He is going by foot (literally barefoot) and is planning to camp overnight at locations where he can stay for free, in order to lower costs and direct all funds toward his research goal.
Chris will be staying at Palermo School on Saturday. We will be accepting any donations throughout the coming weeks to support his fundraising efforts.
Please visit his website for more information. https://www.hopeforhasti.org/
