Dear Penn-Delco Community:

With the increase of positive tests regionally and around the country, Penn-Delco School District reminds you and your family to revisit and review the important health and safety protocols so important in preventing community spread.

While we continue to follow guidance to increase the likelihood that our staff and students remain COVID-free, we know that there have been instances where confusion over screening, masking, washing, and distancing have increased the likelihood of exposure in the District.

Please take the time to redouble your efforts and remind your children of the importance of following guidelines at school and in the larger community. They can revisit the health and safety student video at our website for details.

Parents and guardians should be monitoring temperature and wellness daily by using the Penn-Delco health screener also found at the Health and Safety section of the website. Any symptoms measured with a STOP on the screener must be considered possible COVID. If your child is experiencing symptoms and the symptom screener tells you to STOP and not send your child to school, please contact the school nurse and follow the regular attendance procedures.

Regardless of whether you believe the symptom might be a cold, allergy, or seasonal flu, you should always err on the side of caution and keep your child at home until it is determined they do not have COVID-19.

While we are pleased to educate our students in the hybrid model as safely as possible, your strict adherence to guidelines increases the likelihood that all of our staff and students remain COVID-free!

Thank you again for your support and care while we navigate COVID-19 this fall season.

Sincerely,
Amy Bell
Penn-Delco Supervisor of Student Services
Penn-Delco Health and Safety Committee
