Important Protocol for Travel Plans and Returning to School
In advance of the holiday travel season, with an understanding of Governor Raimondo’s request for individuals to stay local, and with the potential impact on school operation the following requirements apply: All students and staff are required to quarantine for 14 days after returning to RI from international travel or travel to a US state where > 5% of COVID tests are positive. The RIDOH provides this updated list of states with a COVID-19 positivity rate higher than 5%.
The 14 day quarantine is necessary since COVID-19 can develop any time between 2-14 days after exposure. It is also required since a single negative test only indicates that you are negative at that point in time, but you could become infectious any time through day 14. The 14 day quarantine is the most effective way to reduce the risk of exposing other members of our school community to COVID-19.
Exceptions:
1. As an exception, you may provide proof of a negative test for COVID-19 that was taken within the 72 hours prior to arrival in Rhode Island.
2. Self-schedule an asymptomatic test at a community-based testing location or through portal.ri.gov. Be advised that it might take several days to receive the test results and you must quarantine while waiting for a negative test result.

Take the Lead Like a Girl Scout!
When you think Girl Scouts, you might think cookies, campfires, and friendship bracelets. And sure, those things are all part of this exciting, life-altering journey, but there’s so much more to it! Girl Scouts are big thinkers, groundbreakers, and role models. They design robots, start garage bands, and improve their communities—and yes, they sell the best cookies on the planet. Every day, Girl Scouts unleash their power to make their world better, stronger and more united! As the largest and best leadership development program for girls in the world, Girl Scouts teaches girls to...
....be bold, honest, and determined to succeed. In her mind failure is no reason not to get back up and try again, and again, and again. That explains why half of all U.S. businesswomen were Girl Scouts.
...think outside the box so she’s always looking for a creative way to take action. A clear correlation: 73 percent of current female senators were Girl Scouts
...be courageous and strong, she’s keen to try new things and embrace the unfamiliar. It's no wonder that many of the women who have flown in space were Girl Scouts.
...stand confident, responsible, and committed to changing the world. Here's proof: Every year, Girl Scouts collectively spend tens of millions of hours improving their communities.
Unleash your girl's inner leader by giving her the gift of Girl Scouting and allow her to become part of an amazing network of 2.6 million Girl Scouts worldwide. For more information or to get your girl started, contact CustomerCare@gssne.org or call 401.331.4500. We can't wait to meet you!
