Parents/Guardians, we ask that you still call or email all COVID cases to our Point-of-Contact, Beth Hasley, so attendance is properly documented. This also helps us assist your child in keeping up with his/her work.
We are following CDC guidelines on COVID isolation. The first day of symptoms is Day Zero, followed by 5 days of isolation. A student may return on Day 6 based on symptoms. Quarantine due to exposure only needs to happen if a person is exhibiting symptoms.
