IMPORTANT REMINDER
1. Complete the daily self-screening
2. Stay home if feeling ill
3. Notify the school immediately of a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis
*Note that home COVID-19 tests are not accepted by DPH. If you suspect your student may have COVID, please complete a lab PCR test.
COVID QUARANTINE PERIOD
If your student is identified as a possible close contact to an individual with a lab-confirmed positive COVID test, you and the student will be contacted.
Your student will be asked if he/she is FULLY vaccinated (at least 2 weeks past 2nd dose) and whether he/she is experiencing any symptoms.
- If your student is fully vaccinated and not experiencing symptoms, he/she will be able to return to class. No quarantine is mandated.
- If your child is not fully vaccinated and/or is experiencing symptoms, you will be notified to pick up your student and he/she will need to quarantine for 10 days past the date of possible exposure.
- These absences are marked as "K" in Powerchool and are considered excused absences. Many of our teachers use Schoology to post assignments and your student can complete these during the quarantine. If they do not, they will be allowed to turn in missed work upon their return.
Proper Mask Wearing
Congratulations to our AUGUST Students of the Month!
