Did someone in your household test positive for COVID?
A five-day period of isolation for those infected with COVID-19 is no longer being recommended. Oregon Public Health officials believe widespread population immunity due to vaccination and repeated infections means many COVID-19 infections are now likely asymptomatic. The five-day isolation period does little to reduce transmission.
We still recommend all students and staff to stay home until fever-free for 48 hours and symptoms are improving please avoid contact with individuals at increased risk for severe disease, including older adults and those with underlying medical conditions. It is also recommended that you consider masking for 10 days.
Medications at school (including over the counter)
Medications can include a wide range of things. From ibuprofen, Tylenol, anti-itch cream, to cough drops. Yes, even cough drops are considered medication to the Oregon Department of Education. That means that even though your child may be able to responsibly take it or even purchase it, they need to have a signed medication form on file here at school if they bring it on school grounds with them. We know what an inconvenience this can be but it is for the safety of others and it helps staff ensure we know who may not be feeling well. So please follow the medication protocol listed below this upcoming school year to help keep everyone safe! Thank you.

Los medicamentos pueden incluir una amplia gama de cosas. Desde ibuprofeno, Tylenol y medicamentos para la alergia, hasta pastillas para la tos. Sí, incluso las pastillas para la tos se consideran medicamentos para el Departamento de Educación de Oregón. Eso significa que aunque su hijo pueda tomarlo de manera responsable o incluso comprarlo, debe tener un formulario de medicamentos firmado en el archivo aquí en la escuela si lo trae consigo a la escuela. Sabemos lo inconveniente que esto puede ser, pero es por la seguridad de los demás y ayuda al personal a asegurarse de que sepamos quién no se siente bien. ¡Así que siga el protocolo de medicamentos que se detalla a continuación este próximo año escolar para ayudar a mantener a todos a salvo! Gracias.
