Changing COVID-19 Protocols
As we shared on Monday, the State of Delaware ended the mask mandate for schools and child-care centers effective at 6 p.m. last night. At WMS, through the duration of March, we are strongly encouraging members of our community to continue our current COVID-19 protocols, including masking and testing, as we work together to determine the best ways to keep our community healthy.
Weekly on-site testing through Quidel will continue and we are also requesting that toddler families continue to test on their current weekend schedule. These schedules are detailed below.
Please know that as our state moves away from masking, students and staff will always be permitted and encouraged to continue to mask. A return to mandatory masking is possible should a rise in COVID-19 statistics occur locally. Individuals may also be asked to temporarily wear masks as conditions for returning to school from isolation or quarantine.
As always, we ask that you continue to monitor your child's health and stay home if your child has symptoms that might be related to COVID-19 or other contagious illness. Again, we can't thank you enough for working with us to keep our community healthy over the past two years.
Please watch your email for an important announcement with further details on our protocols later today.
