Dear Comet Families,
I know this has been a challenging spring. Thank you for all of your hard work to support learning from home. This spring has required flexibility, patience, and diligence from all of us.
We have now closed the books on the 2019-2020 school year. I know that many of you have questions about what the fall semester will look like and what school will look like at NMC moving forward. There are some aspects and direction I am waiting for from our state and local officials and health department. I will share with you what I do know up to this point.
First and most important I want to share with you that we are planning on having school at the physical location of 128 S. Martin Street and we plan to do everything within our power to do so. We may need to implement modifications to our procedures that prioritize community care, safety, health and security- measures that are based on advice given from state and federal authorities, the CDC, and public health professionals. I will continue to keep in contact with Christian school leaders, local school leaders, and our colleagues at the Wexford-Missaukee ISD. We are all having the same conversations and have the same questions about the future. It is too early to say what specific modifications need to take place. Not enough time has passed to delve into what other school districts who have reopened have learned.
As more concrete decisions are made, I will be first sharing those with our staff and soon after our parents. We commit to being in regular communication with you throughout the summer. However, if you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
Finally, thank you for entrusting your children to our care and instruction. It is an honor to partner with you. These days have been challenging. However, I have witnessed the best of Northern Michigan Christian School over the last months: service, care, flexibility, resilience, growth, collaboration and love. I am inspired by the NMC community and we will fully aim to “let our light so shine” under these unique circumstances so we can serve our students and glorify our Creator.
May God bless you this summer.
Sincerely,
Scott Curell
Superintendent
