Greetings Memorial School Community,
As we enter the second week of in person learning, I wanted to remind everyone of some important information regarding attendance.
Students who are in person learners may NOT be remote learners unless:
-
The student is quarantining due to new or unexplained symptoms that fall under the COVID symptoms checklist
- The student is quarantining due to new or unexplained symptoms and awaiting a negative COVID test
- The student has tested positive of COVID
- The student is quarantining due to travel (mandatory 14 day quarantine period)
This means that if a student is missing school for any other reason, they are simply absent from school. Certainly, if a student would like to go to Google Classroom to try and keep up with assignments, that is fine, but we are not asking teachers to balance the daily task of determining who is in school, who is out, coordinating new remote schedules, sharing links, etc.
How to communicate with Memorial School if your child is out due to a COVID related situation:
- Call the school at (603) 382-5251 and report the absence to our front office secretary, Ellen Leonard. Please share that the absence is related to COVID and that your child is quarantining. This information will be passed along to the school nurse and your child’s teacher.
- Your child’s teacher will then reach out and communicate a remote learning schedule
- Please do not contact your child’s teacher directly to report a COVID related absence. In order to ensure that the school has clear communication, the front office is the only place to share this information.
Additional information can be found in the Sanborn Regional School District’s re-entry plan.
Thank you for taking the time to review this important information. Your support is greatly appreciated.
