It’s the last week of February and March will soon be here! After a nice February break, we are ready to get back to our school routines! We appreciate your continued help and diligence in following our District’s Traveling Out of State During February Break and Daily Screening protocols. Our goal is to keep our students and staff safe and well at school. Thank you! Stay well!
KIND REMINDERS:
TRAVELING OUT OF STATE DURING FEBRUARY BREAK: The Wachusett School District has adopted the Massachusetts Travel Order Quarantine Guidance after traveling out of the state. Please see below and any of the links will bring you to the Massachusetts website for more information. - -Testing for children, 10 years and younger, who are traveling with an adult from their household is not required. Children 10 years and younger should mimic the quarantine requirement and testing options completed by the household adult they accompanied for travel. If the accompanying adult chooses to quarantine, the child must also quarantine. If the accompanying adult chooses to obtain a test, the child and adult must quarantine until the adult’s negative test result is received. - - The Quarantine Requirement and Testing Options for Travel All individuals arriving in Massachusetts by any means or mode, including Massachusetts residents who have left the state for anything more than transitory travel, are covered by the Massachusetts travel rule. Accordingly, even travelers not required to complete the form should act in compliance with the rule. - - The rule requires that you MUST quarantine for 10 days unless you: 1. 1. Are coming from a lower-risk state (North Dakota, Hawaii, Puerto Rico) or 2. Can produce, on request, proof of negative test result for COVID-19 from a test administered on a sample taken not longer than 72 hours before your arrival in Massachusetts, or 3. Meet the exemption criteria. One MUST quarantine until you receive the negative result.
