Conferences will be held on Wednesday, February 16th between 2:30-5:00. Our Winter Conferences are usually by teacher invite only, however if you feel you need a conference with your grade level team, please contact the school and it will be forwarded to the appropriate staff members.
Student Drop-off and Pick-up
This is a new building with new routes.
Please be patient- drop off and pickup takes time.
Here are Four things we need you to do during drop off and pickup:
1. Do not let students out of the car before 7:05, if you arrive early you will need to keep your student(s) in the vehicle with you. Doors will open at 7:15.
2. In the afternoon, please do not plan to come before 2:00. This will cause a traffic backup.
3. Car riders can ONLY ENTER at Adelbert, at the current Middle School entrance. You can not enter for drop off or pickup using Griswold. See map below.
4. Once in the lot, please park closely to the car in front of you, as this will allow more cars to enter the lot, and not be in the street.
Doors open at 7:15am.
The tardy bell rings at 7:30am. Any student who arrives after 7:30am must enter through the main office and sign in.
We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe.
News from our school nurse
How long can you test positive for Covid?
Most people will stop testing positive within 10 days of starting to experience symptoms, or receiving their first positive test.
However, it is possible to continue testing positive for weeks or even months after having the virus. The good news is that even if you are continuing to test positive after a long time, it is highly unlikely you are actually contagious.
The time taken to test negative after contracting Covid-19 depends on the severity of the case, and also on the test itself. PCR tests that hunt out parts of viral genetic material (RNA in the case of Covid-19) in our bodies and magnify it so we can detect it are extremely sensitive and can even pick up the presence of a few viral fragments. This is because fragments of viral RNA can remain in our bodies long after the infection is over and the virus has been cleared from our system.”
When are you most infectious?
For previous variants, the World Health Organization said symptoms could begin to develop anywhere between two days and two weeks after infection.
However, the incubation period for Omicron is believed to be much shorter – between three and five days.
It is believed people are at their most infectious one to two days before the onset of symptoms, and during the two to three days afterwards.
This helps explain why Omicron has been able to spread so quickly, as people have passed the virus on before even realising they have it.
As we’ve seen these new variants develop – Delta, now Omicron – what we’re seeing is everything gets sped up.
It is taking less time from when someone is exposed to Covid to potentially develop infection. It is taking less time to develop symptoms, it is taking less time that someone may be infectious and it is, for many people, taking less time to recover. A lot of that is because many more people are vaccinated.
