Dear Avon Families,
COVID Updates- Here is the latest information on COVID cases. Just a reminder that based on the parameters issued in official guidance, conversation with LCDOH, input from our school physician, and feedback from families, we have been able to implement practices that greatly reduce the likelihood that contact tracing will identify a close contact based on school-related interactions. We cannot guarantee that there will never be a close contact at school, but we are doing what we can during the academic day. With a highly contagious virus, none of the measures will be perfect.
Because we are trying to minimize close contacts through our practices, we will only communicate IF a close contact is identified. Otherwise, when you read about a case, you can assume there were no additional close contacts unless specifically stated.
On 11/24/21 we were notified of a positive staff member.

You will then receive a Google form to choose a time to be tested along with the consent form and intake form that will need to be completed prior to the test.
