Dear MBS Community, On January 6, the CDC officially updated its Guidance for COVID-19 Prevention in K-12 Schools. Additionally, the NJ Department of Health (NJDOH) has adopted the CDC's January 6 update. Accordingly, we are making the following changes to our isolation and quarantine protocols effective January 12, 2022. These changes will result in less quarantine time. We feel this policy is a logical approach that follows the current science, keeps more students safely learning in person, and begins our transition from pandemic to endemic with regards to COVID-19. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. As always, if you have any questions about the COVID-19 testing protocol, please click here. Sincerely, Bridget Marcato, RN, BSN School Nurse |
