UPDATED COVID INFORMATION
Students need to bring to the office or email sicklel@gpschools.org or Ryana@gpschools.org a doctor's note or a negative Covid test before the student can return to school if they are excluded from school because they have two or more symptoms that are outlined on the Covid-19 Screening Tool for Families.
GPPSS is not allowing students to use at-home covid tests to prove their negative covid result at this time. When students need to test, they can test at the school when they were exposed to Covid in school or at a healthcare facility (doctor's office, CVS, Walgreens, etc...) when they are exposed outside of school.
Please refer to the GPPSS UPDATE from yesterday for more detailed COVID UPDATES.
