Students and staff must be masked at all times regardless of vaccination status, and we will be enforcing social distancing of at least 3 feet whenever possible. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test isn’t necessary to participate in the class, but testing or isolation will be necessary to rejoin the class for a student who stays home sick or becomes ill during class. Please monitor your student’s and household’s symptoms daily. Stay home if your student is ill. Also, stay home if someone in your household tests positive for COVID-19, has symptoms, is awaiting the results of a COVID test, or has not completed a minimum 5 full day isolation period with improved symptoms.
