Kirkpatrick Connection

Greetings KHMSM Parents!

Our Caregivers look forward to seeing our residents Tuesday. As the number of Covid cases rise across our state, we need your help. Please let us know immediately if your child needs to quarantine due to a positive case in your home or testing positive. Email ahudson@cmsd.k12.ms.us, call, or text back on this newsletter, so we can better serve all students. Attached is information about free testing available at our school, but please submit an excuse and keep all ill students home. Per district policy, we can accept up to 5 parent notes stating the reason for the absence if they did not visit the doctor.

Vaccinated students can avoid the 14 day quarantine if they are a close contact. If they have no symptoms and test negative every 3-5 days. Free tests are available at school with parent signed permission slips.

Free Covid-19 testing is available at the school for those with any symptoms if a waiver form has been completed. The procedure is noninvasive and not painful at all. Students say it “tickles” only.
