Digital Learning Day - Tuesday 1/25/22!
Reminder... Tuesday, January 25th, is a scheduled Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students.
This is the fourth of six at-home asynchronous learning days scheduled this school year that will provide additional planning time for teachers. (Note that students will access lessons in eCLASS but will not have virtual class time with their teachers on these scheduled DLDs.)
The district will deliver meals along all bus routes countywide. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. Like meals served at school, these delivered meals are provided at no cost to the student under a federal waiver.

CDC International Travel Recommendations
You might have been exposed to COVID-19 on your travels, whether you traveled by air, land, or sea. You might feel well and not have any symptoms, but you can still be infected and spread the virus to others. For this reason, CDC recommends the following:
ALL Travelers
- Get tested with a COVID-19 viral test 3-5 days after travel.
- Find a U.S. COVID-19 testing location near you
- Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms; isolate and get tested if you develop symptoms.
- Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.
If You Are NOT Fully Vaccinated
In addition to the recommendations above
· Stay home and self-quarantine for a full 5 days after travel.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
For international travel, according to the CDC, you are considered fully vaccinated:
· 2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose vaccine
· 2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series
· 2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial
· 2 weeks (14 days) after you received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines administered at least 17 days apart*
