COVID-19 District Updates

Spring Break March 30th – April 3rd, 2020 Travel Guidance

At this time, the CDC does not recommend traveling to high risk areas in the United States, or abroad. Our students will be required to stay home for 14 days from the time they left an area with widespread, ongoing spread (Level 3 Travel Health Notice countries), specifically China, Japan, Iran, Italy and South Korea, and practice social distancing. During the 14 days, students are asked to monitor themselves for symptoms. This will be an excused absence from school (see:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/after-travel-precautions.html). Students do not need to be monitored by public health, but should they begin having symptoms, they should contact their local health care provider.
