COVID POSITIVE STUDENT REPORTING

Scottsdale Preparatory Academy is piloting a new method of collecting information on our covid positive students. If your student tests positive for covid, please fill out this online form in addition to reporting their absence on the attendance line. Please keep your students home if they are experiencing signs of illness including: sore throat, headache, body aches, fever or cough. If you have any questions about our illness policy, please contact the nurse by clicking here.

CDC GUIDELINES FOR COVID

Great Hearts has revised their quarantine guidelines to better reflect the latest CDC guidelines. You can find them here starting on page 4. To view the current Covid Tracker on the SPA website click here. Please keep your student home if they are exhibiting any signs of illness. Covid, flu and colds are all circulating and limiting exposure helps stop transmission and keeps us all healthy. Thank you, Jennifer Warrington, RN | Health Office

February 24^th – 10^th Grade: College Tour of GCU

As this is a grade-wide field trip, no teacher-led courses will be happening that day. If your student will be staying home, please notify us so that we can mark it as an Excused Absence. If your student is still planning to be on SPA campus that day, please let us know that as well so that we can make arrangements for an Independent Workday.

Questions? Please contact Mrs. Coolidge in College Counseling.
