HEALTH UPDATES
Updated Covid 19 Quarantine Policy for McNair Campus (change highlighted)
 
If/when a Covid 19 positive person on the McNair campus is identified, all close contacts will be notified by the school. Close contacts will follow the LDH and Children's Hospital guidance which includes Covid 19 testing as soon as possible. 
 
Vaccinated students may return to school immediately, while self-monitoring for symptoms and testing again 5-7 days after exposure to a positive case. 
 
Unvaccinated students must immediately begin the 14 day quarantine and must also do the testing 5-7 days after exposure to a positive case. During the quarantine, students will complete asynchronous school work via Google Drive but there will not be any synchronous virtual instruction. 

Routine COVID Testing
Louisiana Department of Health Partnership with Omega Diagnostics
As a reminder, LFNO has partnered with LDH and Omega Diagnostics testing to provide FREE weekly COVID testing for all students and staff. 
Please note, there is no testing for Johnson Campuses due to students being in virtual instruction mode. 

NOTE: If you previously registered your child for testing, then you do not need to register your child again. They will be able to test each week on their testing date from that first registration.

 Below is the planned schedule for testing.
● McNair Campus Testing Window: Monday 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Registration Testing Link for McNair Students:

Fall 2021 Athletics Update:
Cross Country continued through virtual school last week, with Johnson and McNair practicing at Audubon Park! As McNair returns to in-person and Johnson remains virtual for the immediate future, we will continue holding practice at Audubon Park. Please email mdupuy@lfno.org if you’d like us to reach out to other families to try to organize a carpool for you. 
 
Over the summer, we determined that we would be joining the Crescent City Charter League for flag football and volleyball. CCCL is running a vaccinated league for all sports. We received communication late last week that their season will be pushed back to February. Please find that communication [attached- please see pdf attached to email]  
 
We will be offering an abbreviated swim season beginning this Wednesday 9/29, with practices at the Terrytown Country Club. For information on middle school swimming, click here. Registration requires two forms, please find the necessary information in the description here:

Dear Anger, a podcast for parents (and really any human who gets angry)
Listen on iTunes, Spotify, or Google Podcasts.

Of all the emotions, anger is one of the hardest (if not the hardest) to navigate. We consistently see questions pour in from parents and professionals:

How do we not get so triggered by our kids or teens?
How do we help our kids when they get angry over and over again?
How do we use coping skills in the moment of anger?
How do we just make it go away?

If you have a question, we have a conversation you're not going to want to miss!
We're thrilled to share with you the launch of our new free podcast:
