COVID Updates: We are encouraging all families to use the rapid COVID tests sent home with their child before vacation. This is an important precaution to keep our whole community safe upon return to school.

• If your child tests positive or someone in the home tests positive we ask that you keep your child(ren) home and reach out to their teacher and/or our school nurses. We can support families regarding next steps and how to safely return your child(ren) to school.
• Staff are also being given rapid tests to take in advance of entering the building as well as KN95 masks that will be worn moving forward.
