Dear SLUSD Community,
We shared encouraging news related to the pandemic at last night’s school board meeting. First, we have take-home COVID test kits ready for all students and staff prior to our February break. These kits will be provided at your school sites, so watch for more details coming from your principals next week. We will also be providing take-home kits prior to our spring break in April.
Also, starting Monday, February 14, we will be moving to five-day isolation and quarantine timelines in order to align with updated guidelines from our local health department. This shift is possible with greatly lowered COVID rates in our community and will allow better continuity of learning for our students and staff. As always, we will continue to monitor health conditions in our schools and pivot to more restrictive protocols if necessary.
I have included more details about both of these changes below, and we will share more information as needed moving forward. I hope you are as encouraged as I am for what these changes mean for spring in SLUSD.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mike McLaughlin Superintendent
