As a reminder, the symptoms of COVID-19 can be one, some, or all of these: fever, chills, shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, sore throat, the new loss of taste or smell, and/or nausea/diarrhea. If your child develops any symptoms of any illness, please keep your child at home and contact the child's physician for further instructions.

As a reminder, Classes resume Monday, January 3, 2022. We are extremely blessed to have navigated the first semester with relatively few COVID cases among our students and employees, but we have recently seen an increase in daily new cases amongst our community.

We realize that many families chose to travel and/or gather over the holiday break. If your child(ren) or someone in your household is currently experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19 as defined by the CDC, we strongly encourage families to get tested to avoid inadvertently bringing COVID to campus. Together, we can keep our community as safe and healthy as possible. Please turn up the volume on the prevalence of the new COVID-19 variant, symptoms of any kind should NOT be overlooked.

If your child develops symptoms and/or tests positive, please notify the Health Coordinator, Pelagio Halaba, at phalaba@antonian.org as soon as possible so that we may begin the contact tracing process.

AT HOME TESTING KITS: Please note that negative test results from an "at home" test kit will not be considered valid.

Please know that as soon as we receive a report, we begin our contact tracing efforts and work to communicate with those who were believed to have "close contact" (as defined by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) with the person who tested positive, advising them to quarantine as warranted and to watch for any signs of symptoms of COVID- 19. As always, privacy reasons prevent us from sharing the name(s) of the affected individual(s).

Please pray for the speedy and complete recovery of the students and staff member affected by COVID-19, and all who are impacted by the disease.
