Good morning. The state has supplied at-home Covid tests for each student. We figured it would be easiest to distribute them at open houses, followed by the day after, during which you can come to the school to pick them up. Each student will get 6 tests.
Open house for PCES is on 9/13, and tests will be in your child's classroom.
PCSS is on 9/15, and tests will be in the office. You may pick up at either school for siblings in the opposite school.
If you need them sooner, please contact me, and we can make other arrangements.

The Freshmen hike up Borestone Mt. is cancelled for tomorrow August 31. due to forecasted severe thunderstorms. There will still be freshmen orientation so Freshmen should plan to attend tomorrow. Upperclassmen who were going to join the freshmen hike do not need attend.
NOTE FROM THE NURSE:
You will be receiving some extra forms either in the mail, or in your student's take-home folder. These may seem redundant with the online portion you filled out, but they are forms specific to outside contracted service providers, such as the dental hygienist, or state-specific, such as the flu and Binax test permission.
Thank you for your attention to these forms and kindly return them to the school as soon as possible.
Mrs. Viera
Covid/Sick protocol:
Welcome back to the new school year. As of now, we will be implementing the following illness protocol:
Please keep your child home for AT LEAST 24 hours with any viral symptoms, including: sore throat, fever over 100.4, new cough, loss of taste/smell, chills, body aches, runny nose/congestion (not related to allergies), vomiting or diarrhea. If, after 24 hours, symptoms are improving, and they haven't had Tylenol or Ibuprofen in those 24 hours, they may return to school. If symptoms continue, keep him/her home until you see improvement or you have a negative Covid test.
It is recommended by the CDC/DOE that you test your child for Covid with onset of the above symptoms and that your child mask until symptoms are resolved. (Each student has 6 rapid tests available for pick-up at the school).
We will not be contact tracing this year (as of now), but if you know your child has been exposed to Covid, it is recommended that he/she mask for ten days and test on day 6, or earlier if symptoms develop. If symptoms develop after exposure, please keep him/her home until a test is done and notify the school.
If your child tests positive for Covid, there is a 5 day isolation period. He/She could return as early as day 6 if symptoms are improvING and he/she has had no fever on day 5. Masking is recommended through day 10.
PLEASE call the front office if your student will be absent due to illness so we can keep track and mark them appropriately. You may or may not receive a call from the nurse to follow up.
As always, contact Mrs. Viera with any questions. wviera@sad4.org 876-4633
For those of you that receive a medication form in the mail, I forgot to insert the explanation letter. Simply fill out your child's information on the top, sign the bottom and put the provider's name on the BACK. I will fax it to him/her for the rest of the information. All medications need to be delivered to the school by an adult except for inhalers, epi-pens and insulin.

There will be no girls soccer game today. The boys game starts at 3 PM at PCSS.
The countdown is on. Just about two weeks until school starts up! I am truly hoping for a much more normal year! :)
Some of you received a letter in May/June indicating that your child was missing some vaccinations. I've checked the database against that list this week, and if your child is still missing immunizations, you will be getting another letter. Understand that your child will not be able to start school on 8/31 unless he/she is either up-to-date on required vaccinations, or has a verified appointment to receive those vaccinations. This is according to the law, not the school. (PCP's can fax a note verifying a scheduled vaccination appointment to 876-4291)
PreK students, newly enrolled Kindergarten students, and transfer students will have a little more time. Feel free to email Mrs. Viera with any questions, wviera@sad4.org
