  • Current Covid Protocol

    Students and staff with COVID should remain home for at least 5 consecutive days or until symptoms, if present, have improved and fever has been gone for 24 hours. A mask should be worn for the following 5 days, for a total of 10 days. Individuals who are exposed to COVID should mask and monitor for symptoms for 10 days. Exposure is defined as someone within 6 feet of a case for 15 or more consecutive minutes. For the most recent guidance for cases and exposures, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html

                       Day 0 of isolation is the day of symptom onset, regardless of when you tested positive. 

                      Day 1 is the first full day after the day your symptoms started or the day after your positive test.

    HEAD LICE REMINDER

    There is an increase prevalence of head lice during the fall and winter months due to sharing hats and scarves. Although, an annoying problem, head lice should not cause undue alarm.

    Head lice are not a sign of poor hygiene and they do not transmit disease. Spread from one child to another can occur during direct head to head contact or by sharing of personal items such as combs, brushes, caps or helmets.

    The most common symptom of head lice is itching and head scratching, particularly at night. Red bite marks or sores may also be noticed on the scalp. If you suspect that your child has head lice, he or she should be examined by your health care provider. Safe and effective products to treat head lice are available both over the counter and by doctor’s prescription. It is important to follow the directions carefully. In addition, use a fine-tooth comb or special nit comb to help remove the eggs (nits) from the hair. You can also check your child’s scalp weekly when the hair is wet to see if there are any new head lice. Parents should also wash in hot water or dry-clean all recently worn clothing, hats, used bedding, and towels. Personal care items such as combs, brushes and hair clips should also be washed in hot water. Toys, such as stuffed animals, can be put into a tightly closed plastic bag for 14 days or placed in a hot dryer for 30 minutes to kill the lice.
