Some students have resumed in-person instruction under the statewide framework for a phased reopening of schools. While preventive efforts like face coverings, handwashing, screening for symptoms, distancing, and good ventilation can greatly reduce the likelihood of spreading COVID-19, the risk cannot be entirely eliminated in settings where people are together in-person. This includes school and child care. Click here for a handout on what the in-person school day will look like for our students.
It can be scary for students, parents or staff to hear that there may have been a case at school. Below are some frequently asked questions (and answers) you may find helpful.
