Health Office reminders for covid policies

Hello families!

I hope everyone is staying safe & healthy during this time. Read below for a few reminders from the health office.

• COVID VACCINE SUBMISSION: If you have NOT yet submitted your vaccine record to the school or if your child has just completed their vaccine series. Please submit their record utilizing the form link above.

• QUARANTINE/ISOLATION: We are working towards implementing a 5-day quarantine and isolation period. We will keep you posted on this process. When we do shift to a shortened protocol, we will begin with NEW exposures or positive cases.

• HOUSEHOLD COVID EXPOSURES: Individuals with a COVID positive household member are strongly recommended to STAY HOME for the duration of the positive case’s isolation (the date of symptom onset or positive test is considered Day 0), get tested immediately, again on Day 5, and again before returning to school. Please notify me if any results are positive.

• ILLNESS PROTOCOL: If your student is ill, keep them home. If symptoms are consistent with COVID (fever above 100 degrees, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, new congestion/new runny nose, cluster of multiple symptoms), they must get a PCR test and await results.
