Bush Hill Updates - Tuesday, May 19, 2020

A Note From Mrs. Duffy

Bush Hill teachers are working hard to pack-up student belongings this week. They are doing this in between their instructional obligations. It will take us awhile to complete this task because we have to limit the number of staff in the building at one time so that we can ensure proper social distancing for all. If you did not have a chance to complete the survey and are looking for a specific item that you believe your child left behind, please email your child’s teacher directly so that they can look for it. We are packing up all student belongings and medication from the clinic will be available for pick-up at the same time. Details regarding pick-up will be coming soon!

Notes For Healthcare Heroes

Dear Panthers,

Use this form below to write encouraging and kind messages to the healthcare staff working hard at INOVA Fairfax Hospital's Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (this includes nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, clinical technicians, and all others). This unit has been transformed to help patients that are sick from Coronavirus. You can submit a message for the healthcare staff below and I will transfer the messages to cards to send to the unit. This will be ongoing until the end of the school year!
