Carus School News
Hello Carus community,
As you're probably aware, there are some big changes on the horizon relating to COVID-19 safety procedures! See below for a recap of policy changes that will take effect next week, and, as we all adjust to these new norms, let's remind our kids (and ourselves!) to treat all those around us with kindness and respect. Some of us may continue to wear masks at all times or at certain times, while others are in situations where we feel comfortable going without a mask at all times. Thank you for ensuring that every member of the Carus community feels comfortable, safe, and respected.
Enjoy the rest of your week,
Sam Thompson
COVID Protocol Changes
Beginning Monday, March 14, the school district will be implementing several changes to its COVID-19 protocols, in accordance with state guidance. Be on the lookout for a district communication detailing these changes, and please note some of the main changes impacting our building as of March 14:
- Masks will be optional at all times for students, staff, visitors, and volunteers regardless of vaccination status
- Registered volunteers with a cleared background check and verified vaccination status or approved exemption will be able to work in the building and help chaperone field trips*
- Visitors will be able to enter the building as needed, regardless of vaccination status; remember that all visitors must sign in at the front office
* Click here to apply to become a volunteer. If you're already an approved volunteer, we'll be getting in touch with you soon regarding how to submit your vaccine or exemption verification. Be sure to touch base with your child's teacher about upcoming volunteer opportunities — conferences next week are a great time to do this!
