Spring Break Travel Reminder: Please Read Carefully
As we get closer to spring break, we want to remind our community of Jarrow’s guidance regarding travel and quarantine. It is so important we don’t let our guard down as we head into the last quarter of school. We want all our children to fully participate in all work and activities as they return to Jarrow from spring break. Please contact Maeve for any questions.
We ask that everyone avoid unnecessary travel. For those who cannot avoid travel and/or gatherings outside of your household, please follow this protocol:
1. Remain at home following travel (see time frame below).
2. Test for COVID-19 7 days after your return. Email test results to maeve.fields@jarrow.org.
-
Negative test: Still must remain at home for 10 days following your return from travel and monitor your symptoms for 14 days.
-
Positive test or no test: Remain at home for 14 days following your return from travel.
Day 1 of quarantine begins the last day of possible exposure/day of return from travel. While the CDC has suggested a shorter testing period and a lesser quarantine period after travel, Jarrow Montessori follows the guidance of Boulder County Public Health Department BCPH, which has the most accurate data, guidelines and authority for our specific region and closely follows CDPHE guidelines. BCPH now supports schools in adjusting the quarantine period to at least 10 days for those with an exposure who test negative.
These guidelines apply to both unvaccinated and vaccinated adults. Adults who have been vaccinated can still transmit the virus, which means our children are not protected from catching it. Please follow the guidelines below for any vaccinated adults who visit your household and please remember wearing a mask is still so important.
As a reminder, if you anticipate your child needing to quarantine due to your choice to travel, teachers will not be able to offer ‘homework’ for the days the student is at home. We want to ensure that, as you make plans, you take this under consideration. We are all on the honor system and appreciate your care and consideration for all our children at Jarrow.
