Sussex Star Bursts!
Principal's Corner
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We continue to rely on your cooperation and partnership to keep our students safe. Below is essential information to assist towards this goal:
- Please continue to conduct the required Daily Student Screening and alert the school nurse immediately if your child exhibits symptoms listed or if you answer YES to any screening questions.
- If you or someone in your household is sick, please do not send your children to school. Contact the school nurse (laura.mojena@msdk12.net.) if you are unsure whether to send your child to school.
- If any household member is scheduled to take a COVID test whether exhibiting symptoms or as a requirement for any reason OR is awaiting COVID test results, be sure to get in touch with Nurse Mojena immediately for further instructions.
- If a household member tests positive additional quarantine guidelines will apply to any unvaccinated student that resides in the household. Because such situations are complicated and nuanced, please be sure to remain in contact with the school nurse on behalf of your student so that the required time frame for quarantine can be adequately provided.
- If students are eligible for virtual instruction, our teachers can prepare for virtual instruction in two days. Students have access to google classroom from home at any time, and assignments will be available while awaiting instruction to begin. Thank you for supporting our teachers who are teaching in person and virtually at the same time.
Please know that I am here to help and support you in any way that I can. Feel free to reach out to me directly at lorri.vaccaro@msdk12.net
Be well,
Lorri Vaccaro, Principal
