In order to keep students and staff safe as schools open in September for 2022–23 school year, please review new guidance on School Health Policy, which covers the following:    

• Vaccination information;  
• Procedures to be followed if a student or staff member shows signs of COVID-19 while in school;   
• Procedures to be followed if there is a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 for a student or staff member; and  
• COVID-19-testing for staff and students.  

Share Information on Immunization and Health Forms with Families for Completion:
