Here are the highlights:

Effective January 18, 2022, masking will return to be highly recommended, but not required for all SCS buildings during and after school hours.

There are still some additional guidelines that we will need to follow.

• Masks are Still Required on School Buses. Just a friendly reminder that per the CDC, students riding a school bus to / from school or for athletic trips are required to wear a mask. Please remember to have your child keep some masks in his / her bag so that they are prepared for riding the school bus. The students have done a phenomenal job with this requirement the past two weeks, so let’s keep it going!
• Masks are Still Required for Mask to Stay / Isolation Protocols. As a reminder, if your child is identified as a direct contact at school and is in the Mask to Stay quarantine protocol or is able to return on Day 6 of isolation due to having no symptoms, students must wear their mask through Day 10 of the quarantine / isolation period.
• Social Distancing / Seating. At this time, we will maintain our current social distancing measures in terms of classroom desk arrangement and lunch procedures.
• Visitors. Guidelines for visitors will follow the same plan that was in effect prior to winter break. You can click here to access our established visitor requirements.
• Reporting Positive Results and/or Quarantines. Throughout the week, you may call your attendance line to report your child(ren) positive or if there is a need for them to quarantine based on a family/friend exposure. You may then be contacted by the building nurse and/or principal. Over the weekend, you may use our reporting link and either our Covid Coordinator or district nurse will get back to you with further instructions / information.

Since this is a change please reach out to me if you have any questions or need any clarification.

The Lunchroom will remain split in two with the overflow in the middle gym. There will still be a limit of four students per table through Friday 1/21 and will be reevaluated by Dr. Ryba for the following week.
