Wellness Protocols
Our goal is to provide the safest possible learning environment in this pandemic environment. It is important that all students and staff follow established wellness protocols.
Wellness Screening at Home
Daily screening is required for all students and staff for COVID-19 symptoms prior to arrival at school or any other school activity. Parents, please be sure valid local emergency contacts are updated on file and be prepared to pick up students that are ill or displaying COVID-19 symptoms immediately. Students must be picked up within 30 minutes.
Students are required to stay home if they are ill and/or experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 or another contagious illness. Students are also required to stay home if anyone in their household has tested positive for COVID-19 or has a COVID-19 test result pending (is presumed positive).
