COVID News Antigen tests are being sent home with your children today. They must take the test the morning they return from Winter Break to allow them to be mask less with their classmates outside the school. Write the child’s name on the test and have them return it to their teacher. Families who want their children to continue to mask outside may let their teacher know this.
Wayne County Health Department lifted their masking requirement today. Due to the fact we have many children who are not vaccinated, we are remaining a masking school. (See the first two bullets in the announcement)
COVID Travel Update Vaccinated students do not need to quarantine if they travel domestically or internationally. Unvaccinated children need to quarantine 5 days and have proof of negative antigen tests on days three and five before returning to school if they travel domestically or internationally. Antigen test must be taken the morning of return to allow for no masking outside with their classmates. Click here to see the official update.
