As of 1/31/22 – We can now allow our students age 12-17 to NOT have to quarantine if they do not have their booster. They still need to be at least 2 weeks post their initial series, but they no longer need a booster to be considered up to date. As long as they have their 2 doses and remain asymptomatic, they do not have to quarantine if they are considered to be a close contact.
-
If your student is in quarantine, please remind them to get on Google Classroom to work asynchronously so they do not get behind on their classwork.
-
If any household members have a pending covid test, please contact our school nurse, Heather Murray at 812.542.8501 or via email: hmurray@nafcs.org You may also email Mrs. Ivey @ wivey@nafcs.org.
