Principal's Message Regarding Covid
I would first like to thank our school community for your patience as we continue to battle Covid-19 during the pandemic. Our school nurses have worked hard to keep up with phone calls and emails related to Covid. As you can imagine, it has not been a easy task with the uptick in cases in our communities.
Regarding quarantining, students and staff are required to quarantine if they test positive or have been directly exposed. The quarantine time is based on specific factors (ex. test result date, symptom date, degree of exposure) but the typical quarantine time is 10 days.
As always, we thank you for your continued support of NRHS. We understand this is a tough time for everyone but please know NRHS is doing all we can to help keep our school community safe.
Dr. S. Green
