As the seasons change and we enter another New England autumn, the gradual shift from outdoor to indoor activity will eventually lead to an increase in positive cases of COVID and other respiratory viruses. All of the standard measures to prevent contracting a virus are still very much effective (hand washing, masks, etc), however even the most healthy and preventative approaches can still lead to an infection.
If our students and/or staff members find themselves under the weather due to an RV such as COVID, we ask that they follow the guidelines that are outlined in this document when then consider their time to return to school. There is an easy to follow graphic that helps explain the steps and these have been revised by the CDC since our last update in 2022. As always with returning to school after an illness, please feel free to contact Winchester School Health Care Coordinator Eric Pouliot at 603-239-4381, extension 224.
