3. Parents agree to cover all costs associated with required quarantine during a trip if a student must quarantine/isolate. Parents must also fly/drive to the location to supervise their student.
School should provide alternate assignments (when applicable) for families unable/unwilling to agree to guidelines.
Here are our Covid prevention and wellness protocols in place:
When Would We Move to Full Quarantine With Distance Learning?
For Elementary TK-8:
1. If there are 3 positive cases in a classroom in a 10 day period, then the classroom will move to Zoom distance learning for 7-10 days (option to test on day 5 and can return day 7 if negative).
2. If there are 5 unrelated cases throughout grades TK-8 in a 10 day period, then all classrooms will move to Zoom distance learning for 7-10 days (option to test on day 5 and can return day 7 if test is negative).
For High School:
If there are 5 unrelated positive cases throughout high school in a 10 day period, then all of the classrooms will move to Zoom distance learning for 7-10 days (option to test on day 5 and then return day 7 if negative).
This is a safety measure for students on campus, voted by our Admin Committee, composed of a handful of teacher representatives and the principal. We are placing proactive measures in place with the purpose to prevent further spread of COVID-19 on campus.
It’s exciting for our students to be back on campus full time and we will keep you updated as things continue to evolve.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Mayang
Interim Principal
