Parents’ Guide to Re-Opening FAQ – 08.06.20 – 2.0
Please read the full Parents’ Guide to Reopening first. Many questions have been submitted and referred to staff members for consideration. The list in the FAQ does not include every question that was asked. Some questions are actually answered in the Plan already; others are still being considered by staff; still others may fall into a category where our guidance is under review. Those cases may actually result in an amendment of the Plan. It is important to note that our Plan is fluid and will be updated as we respond to local data and further guidance. Finally, we have tried to group the questions into categories for easy reference.
A parents’ self-screening instrument is available here>>>COVID Self Screening Questionaire
