Preparing to Return
Barring any big surprises or public health directives, we plan to resume classes Tuesday, January 5, picking up where we left off in December. It’s essential for our collective success that you:
- pay close attention in advance to any symptom and heed even the mildest new symptom (shared from the CDC below),
- be aware of any possible exposures,
- seek the benefit of testing as needed (please note these locations and times available in our city for that purpose), and
- keep everyone home if anyone in the family has symptoms until a negative test result is confirmed.
If you’ve traveled, read over the CDC advisories and carefully consider any that apply. The same holds true for any family gatherings over the holidays, whether you traveled or not.
