Returning from spring break free from the effects of COVID-19 and the ability to complete the school year without quarantine learning or reinstated restrictions requires vigilance. Staff are encouraged to continue to follow the successful mitigation strategies that have reduced COVID-19 in the community.
On Monday, April 18, staff are asked to test using MCPS-provided rapid take-home test kits and report positive cases via this online form. If the test is positive, stay home and follow quarantine and isolation guidelines. If your child has COVID-19 symptoms or is sick, stay home.
COVID-19 symptoms are fever with a temperature of 100.4 or higher, sore throat, cough, difficulty breathing, diarrhea or vomiting, or loss of taste or smell.
