8.16.21 NovatoHigh Final SSSPP

·         As directed by the Marin County Department of Health orders, masks are required at school in order to keep students, staff and the community safe from the spread of COVID.

Why are students required to wear masks?

• With the increased spread of the COVID delta variant the Marin County Health Department has issued a mask order for schools.  We want to insure our students, staff and community are safe and we protect each other from community spread.

Do students still have to socially distance at school?

• No.  As long as students are wearing masks they can remain at a regular distance from other students

What other safety precautions are in place at school?

• All students are encouraged to continue washing their hands regularly.  Every classroom is equipped with a certified hepa filter unit that removes 99.9% of viral particles from the air.  All classrooms and restrooms are cleaned daily following standard COVID disinfection guidelines.

What do I do if my child has symptoms of COVID?

• Keep your child at home and contact your Doctor.  Arrange to get a COVID test.

What do we do if my child tests positive for COVID?

• Keep your child at home and follow the directions for care provided by your Doctor.  You will need a Doctor’s note clearing your child to return to school when they are well.

Should I get my child vaccinated?

• Vaccinating your child is a decision you make as a parent in consultation with your family doctor.  We strongly encourage all eligible students get vaccinated to protect them from COVID.
