COVID-19 UPDATE REGARDING QUARANTINE
In accordance with new ADH guidelines, the probable close contact quarantine can end after 10 days without testing if no symptoms have occurred. Or, it can end after 7 days if no symptoms have occurred and a test returned a negative result. Note that the test sample must have been collected at least 5 days after exposure (day 5 of quarantine). Send-off PCR tests are preferred, but rapid antigen tests are acceptable.
If your child is exposed again during quarantine, the period must start over again. If your child develops symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 during the quarantine period, you must follow the instructions for isolation.
If your child is returning to school before the 14-day quarantine period, you must contact your child’s campus before they return to confirm the child is cleared to be released from quarantine. Documentation of the negative test result must be provided to the school office to return after a 7-day quarantine.
The isolation period of 10 days remains unchanged for individuals who have tested positive.

Families who signed up to receive free meals from SSD will receive a box with seven breakfasts and seven lunches for each child living in the home. Each box includes a traditional Thanksgiving meal for the holiday. Meals will be delivered to families on Nov. 23. We are thankful for the volunteers from our local churches who are helping to make this possible!

Students in Mrs. Rich's Food Production & Management Services course made another delicious dish today! #CTE #YJNation #MakeItCount
Mrs. Burnett's AP Environmental Science class learned how to "hand texture" soil samples collected from sites spanning from Grant Co to Colorado. Students conducted a variety of hands-on tests to determine how much clay, silt, and sand were in each sample. #MakeItCount
