COVID-19 SYMPTOMS:
If your child or family member has any symptoms related to Covid-19 keep your child(ren) at home. We need everyone to commit to this protocol to ensure the health and safety of our students and their families, and our faculty/staff and their families. If you find yourself in this situation please inform the school office promptly. We will guide you through the next steps according to the Exclusion Summary Chart for Covid-19 (picture below).
MINOR 1-3 DAY ILLNESS:
If your child will be absent for reasons other than Covid-related health concerns, or with a minor 1-3 day illness, please follow the guidelines starting on page 63- Student Illness in our handbook. If your child is home ill with a minor 1-3 day illness they should not Zoom in to class. Their body needs to rest so they can get better and return to school. The days they are home would be counted as excused absences and your child(ren) will have time to makeup the school work when they return.

Faithful volunteers pack food boxes, make deliveries, and conduct home visits with poor and needy people in Sellwood.
