COVID-19 Policies & Procedures
|
Policies and protocols may be changed when COVID-19 numbers in Pulaski County have decreased to a safe level as determined by the AR Department of Health/CDC. We will follow guidance and notify you of any changes. [Updated March, 27 2022: Pulaski County community spread levels decreased to "low"]
Before coming to class each week...
Online Screening Questionnaire
(Updated for Spring 2022) We will not be emailing you the COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire each week. Only if you are unable to attend class because of symptoms, testing, or quarantine, you may fill out the questionnaire on our website (click button below) to request for your teacher to set up a live Zoom link of class to participate virtually, and we will try our very best to accommodate this request. Requests must be made by 3:00pm the day of class so teachers have time to prepare. Thank you!
