COVID-19 Policy

We have learned a lot from the COVID-19 virus over the past 2 years. Changing our internal safety policy and procedures to align with those of CDC are important to maintain a safe and healthy school campus. In recent days the COVID-19 policies have been updated by CDC and our local health officials. As a school we are using these updates as guidelines to update our COVID-19 school policy and procedures. Please carefully read the updates for each individual grade level.

If a child in preschool or elementary tests positive for COVID-19, parents need to contact their child's teacher and inform them of the positive test result. The teacher will then contact the school nurse and Mrs. Ross. Once the school nurse has been informed, she will contact the parents regarding quarantine and return to school dates. Information regarding zoom codes and pickup of student books will be sent out by Mrs. Ross.

If a student in middle school or high school tests positive for COVID-19, parents will need to email Ms. Oksanen. Ms. Oksanen will then contact the school nurse. Once the school nurse has been informed, she will contact the parents regarding quarantine and return to school dates. Information regarding zoom codes and pickup of student books will be sent out by Ms. Oksanen.

We thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students and staff safe.
