Please encourage everyone age 12 and older to get the COVID vaccine.  Two weeks after they are fully vaccinated, they will not be required to isolate or quarantine if they are exposed to COVID unless they are symptomatic.  What does this mean? Students won’t miss school or any events if they are exposed.  Also, we will see less cases of COVID and less restrictions for next school year
