Many things have changed over the past year related to COVID, so we would like to update you on the current COVID guidelines for our school. We are still seeing cases of COVID among our students, staff and general community but fortunately most infections are not causing serious illness, just minor cold or allergy symptoms. Conditions are much better than they were a year ago, so we are no longer contact tracing or sending formal notifications about COVID exposures. We continue to expect parents to notify us of positive cases and direct exposures among our students. Our nurses (see graphic) will guide you regarding the isolation dates and appropriate masking protocols. A person testing positive for COVID will continue to isolate themselves away from others for five full days from the onset of symptoms. After that, wearing a well-fitting mask is required in public for five additional days. We also encourage masking for all those who have cold symptoms and a known COVID exposure. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in keeping our community as healthy as possible.
