PICTURES STORAGE OF THE SNOW TUBES MEANS WINTER IS OFFICIALLY OVER 200 pounds of snow tubes were deflated and hauled into storage on Wednesday. It would be a huge surprise to have snow deep enough to use for sledding in May. GAGA BALL & TETHERBALL We are now allowing these two recess activities to return with some restrictions.
Sanitize hands thoroughly upon returning to the classroom. SMALL SIDEWALK EXTENSION COMPLETED NEXT TO SACS The City completed a segment of sidewalk long needed at the gymnasium/bus loop end of the building. This project took place over the last week of April. VENTILATION SYSTEM TESTING We have been extremely lucky to have a modern ventilation system in our building during this covid year. The system has been ramped up to run 24 hours a day, rather than 8, with greater air exchange rates than normal. One of the characteristics of this system is that it adjusts up or down the amount of fresh air moving through each room depending on how many people are in that space. People breathe out carbon dioxide and this can be measured with special sensors. During the last holiday break, each room’s carbon dioxide sensor was tested for accuracy and functionality. There are many classrooms and meeting spaces in this building. | ||||||||
TRAVEL GUIDANCE TESTING UPON RETURN Unvaccinated Vermonters who have traveled outside the state must be tested within 3 days of returning to Vermont.
Vaccinated Vermonters do not need to get tested or quarantine. People who had COVID-19 within the last 3 months and have recovered do not need to test or quarantine unless they develop new symptoms. Rules for Vermonters who have traveled to other countries are different. Learn more.
