Early Release & Parent/Teacher Conferences
Dear Parents,
Early Release conferences are fast approaching. This year, our early release conferences will be held on Wednesday, March 2nd and Thursday, March 3rd. Wednesday, March 2nd will be a digital learning day for all students. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 pm on Thursday, March 3rd. All instruction for students will end at 12:15 on both days. Please be sure to note these important schedule changes.
We are offering both an in person format as well as a digital format for this year’s conferences. The purpose of a parent-teacher conference is to discuss student achievement and progress. Each parent-teacher conference will last for a period of fifteen minutes to allow for cleaning in between appointments. Both parents are urged to attend. Please be prompt as these conferences are scheduled consecutively. If a situation arises and you are unable to attend your scheduled conference, please notify the teacher so the conference can be rescheduled.
To schedule your conferences this year, simply go to our school’s conference site https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Dyer_Elementary_School_3 and click on your teacher’s name. The schedule will open on Friday, February 11th at 3:30pm. There you will be able to see your teachers’ schedules and sign up for a time that best suits you. The ability to sign up for a conference online will close on Friday, February 25th at 3:00pm. Please contact your child’s teacher directly to sign up after the close of online scheduling.
We look forward to seeing you during conference week.
Sincerely,
Sally Armstrong
Assistant Principal
CDC International Travel Recommendations
You might have been exposed to COVID-19 on your travels, whether you traveled by air, land, or sea. You might feel well and not have any symptoms, but you can still be infected and spread the virus to others. For this reason, CDC recommends the following:
ALL Travelers
- Get tested with a COVID-19 viral test 3-5 days after travel.
- Find a U.S. COVID-19 testing location near you
- Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms; isolate and get tested if you develop symptoms.
- Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.
If You Are NOT Fully Vaccinated
In addition to the recommendations above
· Stay home and self-quarantine for a full 5 days after travel.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
For international travel, according to the CDC, you are considered fully vaccinated:
· 2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose vaccine
· 2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series
· 2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial
· 2 weeks (14 days) after you received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines administered at least 17 days apart*
