Principal Message (1/2/22)

 

Happy New Year Gator Families

We truly hope that everyone was able to relax and reset over the last two weeks with family and friends. We are encouraging everyone to enter 2022 with good health, happiness, and positive intentions.

 

A few days ago, Amanda Gorman, 23-year-old poet, released a moving poem titled  “New Day’s Lyric.”  As we move forward into the new year, please take a few moments to listen to Ms. Gorman’s poem.  It reflects on 2021 and intertwines themes of struggle, hope, resiliency, and healing.  

 

COVID Update

As we prepare for our return from winter break, please assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy school environment by getting tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or believe you have been exposed to the virus.  If you test positive, please email Mr. Darren Williams, Assistant Principal, at dwilliams7@wcpss.net. Use this link HERE to access additional information from WCPSS.

 

Testing

Staff and students who have symptoms, regardless of vaccination status should get tested and isolate from others while waiting for a result. (If testing is not possible, follow the guidance below as if you are positive.)

 

Isolation Requirements

Staff and students who test positive, regardless of vaccination status, and: 

  • Do not have symptoms – should isolate yourself from others for 5 days.
  • Have symptoms – should isolate from others until fever-free and symptoms are improving. You should isolate yourself for at least 5 days since your symptoms began.

 

Quarantine Requirements

  • Not vaccinated – stay away from others for 5 days, get tested on day 5 after exposure, and if you test negative, you may return to school or work.
