Dear Families:

I share a few COVID related items this afternoon.

Community Forum Recording

We recorded last night’s forum.  The recording is found here.  Thanks to the many who attended.

DESE Issues Mask Mandate Through October 1

Commission Riley issued a mask mandated for all schools through October 1 after gaining authority from the Board of Education yesterday.  The press release and related information are found here.

Phone App for Symptom Screener

As noted in the COVID protocols for this fall, the symptom screener will again be used daily in Aspen.  The screener can be accessed by cell phone.  I am resharing the video we posted last summer in hopes it makes this process as easy as possible.  The video is located here.

Teacher Vaccinations

Through very collaborative dialogue and agreement, all members of the Concord Teachers Association and Concord Carlisle Teachers Association will be vaccinated.

Student Vaccination Documentation

Thank you to everyone who submitted student vaccination documentation to date.  Please continue to submit vaccine documents to these email addresses and include the child’s grade level for the 2021-2022 school year:

                        CCHS:  healthservices@concordcarlisle.org

                        CMS:   cmshealthservices@concordps.org

Coming Soon

We will soon provide a list of local COVID PCR testing sites as well as a flowchart of quarantine protocols.

Thank you for the ongoing collaboration.  We look forward to the advent of a new school year!
Best,

Laurie
