UPDATED COVID PROTOCOLS
After gathering data from schools within Nebo District and the state of Utah, the Utah Health Department has updated school quarantine protocols. As of now any student who is identified through our contact tracing as having been in close proximity (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) of someone at school who tests positive for COVID does not have to be quarantined, as long as both students were wearing masks at all times. Our school nurse, Tylene Shelley, will notify parents via email that their student was in close proximity. If you receive the email please read it carefully. You can contact the school if you have any questions.

ONLINE MEAL ORDERING FOR AT-HOME LEARNERS
The best way to order school lunch and/or breakfast for students who are not at school is to fill out a survey each day for each student. This includes kindergarten and preschool students, remote learning students of all grades and any students home due to COVID restrictions. You will need to order before 9 a.m. each morning. Meals are only provided on scheduled school days. For special circumstances, you can still call the school to place your order.
This would also be the method of ordering breakfast and lunch if your student is required to stay home for quarantine or for other COVID-19 related schedule adjustments or closures.
To place your order, please go CLICK HERE.
By way of reminder, meals can be picked up in the front office between10:15 and 10:30 each morning.
We hope this makes the process easier for all involved. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
