Principal's Note
Hi Families:
This week you received an email of the change in quarantine length for students that have come into close contact with a positive case of COVID-19. Previously, the quarantine period was 14 days, now it is 7-10 days.
Please check your email. If your child is quarantined, he/she will have two possible dates listed for return if they are symptom free:
- One of these options allow your student to return earlier IF they have taken a COVID test after being quarantined for six days, and IF those results come back negative. However, there is no guarantee on the turnaround time for those results, depending on where you go to get tested. If the test takes longer, it could delay the return time to school.
- If a test is pending in the family, the student should stay home until a negative test is received
- If you do decide to have your child tested for COVID on day six or seven during a quarantine, and if those results are negative, please understand that your child may return sooner than other students and/or teachers and will join another classroom temporarily until the entire class and teacher have returned.
- The other option is to quarantine for the ten days listed without testing and return with all of the students and teachers quarantined.
If you have any questions or concerns about the above or any COVID questions in general, feel free to reach out to the office 262-970-2810.
Upcoming dates:
- Next week - normal full five day week (Dec. 14-18)
- Following week- two day week (Monday & Tuesday only) (No school Wed-Fri)
- Wednesday, December 23-January 3rd is winter break for all students (face to face and virtual)
- Return date back to school (face to face and virtual) is Monday, January 4th
Have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe!
We are here to be your partner in education and we are honored to work with YOU and your children everyday!
