Good afternoon,
All families received an email communication regarding new quarantine protocols set forth by ODH this week. The new protocol named “Mask to Stay” and “Mask to Play” is designed for close contacts in the school setting only. The goal of the new guidelines are to help healthy children who are considered close contact remain in the classroom while still protecting those around them. The document can also be found in the provided link. As always, please contact us at 937-465-1060 with any questions.
