As we navigate through this challenging time, we ask that we take it upon ourselves to self monitor for any Covid related symptoms and if they are present you need to stay home, contact the school, and consult your physician for a test. At this point in our mitigation even a mild head cold, or other common infection can set off alarm bells, which could result in shutting down of cohorts, or even the entire campus. It is best to err on the side of caution. In the meantime, Educators and Support staff have made it easier to distance learn when students are unable to attend. This same illness policy goes for students as well as staff.

This is regardless of a negative test. Here is a link to the travel advisory page,https://portal.ct.gov/Coronavirus/travel.
