New Covid Illness Policy

/in /by

The CDC has released updated guidance related to Covid illnesses.  Effective immediately our school’s Covid policy (as well as the policy for MPS) is as follows:

Students and staff are required to remain at home until they have been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and symptoms are improving. 

There is no longer a mandatory 5 day requirement to remain at home and mask wearing upon return to school is optional.  If you have any questions please reach out to our school nurse, Mrs. Pennington.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to SJS 7th grader Zia Vavanan on winning 1st place the CHET Dream Big competition for Grades 5 – 8 that we sent out many months ago.  This was a state-wide essay contest on the topic of What is something you could do to help make the lives of others better?   As the winner, Zia will have $20,000 deposited in her CHET account for college!  Way to go Zia!
