[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in preK and 2nd at two different schools. The schools just sent out their quarantine rules and anyone unvaccinated (including all kids under 12) must quarantine for 5 days after returning from air or train travel and then can take a Covid test and return to school if it’s negative. So that likely means 6+ days of missed school with no remote learning option for my older one this year if he is quarantining.

I assume this will be the same for most/all schools since it’s based on the CDC recommendation, but I find it extremely frustrating that the schools aren’t planning better for holiday breaks. Why can’t they just do a week of remote learning for all after holiday breaks since we know it can be just as dangerous getting together locally with a large group of family indoors and unmasked?

My guess is that many people will travel and just lie about when they returned so their kids can return to school on time. Or people will “quarantine” where they are traveling and fly back later on if their kids can’t go to school anyway.

We have not seen any family since Christmas 2019 and this was the year we were planning to do it.

Curious what your school is requiring and how it will impact your plans this year.[/quote]
