COVID-19 Policy
Updated 1/10/2023
​
Every morning, please check the wellness policy to verify your child does not have any symptoms listed.
​
Please know that we are keeping classroom activity as separate as possible at all times, so we will evaluate each situation to see if it is possible for a portion of the school to remain open. It may not be possible for the school to remain open in any capacity, however this will be reviewed with every instance.
​
Student should stay home (do not come to school) if:
-
If a student has been in close contact (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) with anyone confirmed with Covid-19 within the past two weeks.
-
If a student is awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test.
-
If a student has Covid-19 symptoms, please stay home and review the steps below.
​
When in doubt, please stay home, notify the school via Procare. We will work through your specific situation with you.
​
Note: Each situation will be reviewed independently with the MDS Director, Executive Board (as needed), local health officials and the Idaho Public Health Department. Following are our guidelines for Covid-19.
