Dear Parent(s):

As we approach the April school vacation week, there are several guidelines related to COVID-19 protocol I need to share with you.  

• Any student who travels out of state must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before they will be allowed to return to school. 
• Upon return to Massachusetts students who have travelled must wait three to five days before being tested; they must also quarantine for seven days.
• If the student has travelled and is not tested, they must quarantine for 10 days before they return to school.

I beg your honesty and your adherence to these requirements.  It is not about restricting freedom; it is about ensuring the safety of all our children and their families.  We are depending upon your sense of responsibility so that we may protect one another.  

We are at a critical juncture in meeting this challenge. Cases of the virus are surging.  Now is not the time to be careless.  Please help us to continue to offer safe, in-person instruction without interruption.

I pray for a safe, restful vacation for all our students, and for an equally safe return to school on April 26.  I thank you for your cooperation in this most important matter.

Respectfully,

Thomas P. Arria, Jr.

Principal
