COVID-19

Thank you to our families for continuing to test when they have COVID-19 symptoms or after possible exposure, for using the online tool to report positive COVID-19 test results, and for following CDC isolation guidelines. Please remember that while masking is optional, masks are temporarily required in some situations:

Students presenting to the health room for evaluation of possible COVID-19 symptoms.
Staff or students with COVID-19 infection, after completing five days of isolation, who feel well enough to return to school or work (masks are worn until day 10).
Individuals exposed during an outbreak, as an alternative to a 10-day quarantine.
Exposed staff and students do not need to quarantine as long as they are symptom-free, and can safely wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.

Yours in Service,

Kimberly Lloyd, Principal

Terry Gobourne, Assistant Principal
