COVID 19 Update
As you are aware, we are currently in a Modified Phase 2. By BESE rules, schools are allowed to continue to operate in a Phase 3 model. Because of that, we did not have to change our transportation plan. However, if things change in the future, please be aware that we will need to make adjustments to our bus rosters.
New guidance on Isolation and Quarantine periods have been shared with us last Friday and, again, today. This guidance will affect the number of days students or staff must remain in isolation or quarantine. The number of days is reduced from 14 to 7 or 10 depending on the case. For clarification, quarantine begins on the last day of contact with a positive person. Therefore, if your child continues to have contact in the home with a positive person, the quarantine does not start until the positive person ends their isolation period.
If your child has been exposed to COVID 19, please call the office to find out how their school attendance will be affected. We will make decisions regarding quarantine on a case-by-case basis.
You can review the new CDC guidance at this link: https://ldh.la.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/5905.
Thank you to our teachers, students, and families for being resilient and dedicated to following all protocols to keep our campus safe and for your continued support of our school.
I would like to thank each of you for sharing your children with us. Despite COVID 19, we have had an exceptional year so far! We are looking forward to finishing this school year Gator Strong!
