Covid-19 Updates 
Please keep your child home when he/she is sick and have them take a home covid test. 
Covid symptoms may include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, body aches, chills, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.  People can have no symptoms at all and test positive for Covid or they could have many symptoms.  Symptoms could be mild or so severe they require hospitalization.  Please do your part and test your child whenever they have a new illness.  If they test negative, they may return to school. There will be no remote instruction this year. Absences related to Covid can be marked as excused.
 
Quarantine is no longer recommended for people who are exposed to COVID-19 except in certain high-
risk congregate settings. In schools and ECE settings, which are generally not considered high-risk
congregate settings, people who were exposed to COVID-19 can continue to attend school as long as
they remain asymptomatic. CDC recommends that individuals who were exposed to COVID-19 wear a
well-fitting mask for 10 days after exposure.

Exposed persons, regardless of vaccination status, are strongly recommended to get tested 5 full days
after exposure, on day 6 (date of exposure is considered day 0). If testing is unavailable, school
attendance can continue. If the test is positive, they must follow isolation recommendations.
