COVID-19

  • 2023-2024

     

    This is now our 4th school year post-Covid. Unfortunately, Covid is not going anywhere and will continue to circulate every year, just like the flu and common cold. We are now holding Covid to the same standards as the other endemic respiratory illnesses. The following protocols will apply to Covid cases beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.  

     

    • If the student is ill and doesn't feel well, they should stay home until they feel better.
    • The student must be fever free for a full 24 hours before returning, without the use of fever-reducing medication (i.e., Tylenol, Motrin, etc.)
    • Coughing must be minimal - constant coughing can not only increase the risk of spreading germs, it can also cause a great deal of distraction for the student coughing and their classmates, resulting in a loss of learning. If a student is experiencing constant coughing, they may be asked to stay home until the cough has resolved.
    • Masks are optional and the decision to wear one is a personal choice made by the student and their parents. 
    • We no longer require a negative test to return to school. As long as the above criteria is met, the student is welcome to come back and learn.
