Hello,
The health and well-being of our students and staff are our priority. Recently, there has been an increase in reported cases of COVID-19 in Philadelphia. We continue to align our school-based recommendations with the Philadelphia Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control’s COVID-19 practices.
According to the Philadelphia Department of Health, during times of significant increase in cases or outbreaks, K-12 schools should consider the following prevention strategies:
- Encouraging staff and families to stay up to date on vaccinations.
- Encouraging everyday prevention including staying home when sick, getting tested, improving ventilation, hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and cleaning and disinfection.
- Allowing individuals to mask as necessary (masks are available in the front office of our building)
- Temporarily stopping high-risk activities
For more information on K-12 School recommendations, please visit the Philadelphia Department of Health Resources and Management of COVID-19.
If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please inform the school nurse and use the CDC Isolation and Exposure Calculator to determine a return to school date.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact (enter name of school contact).
Thank you,
American Paradigm Schools
