[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you an SSMA parent or did you only hear this?

Either there's a policy that means they never should have opened in the first place because they'll never open again if following this protocol, or there's got to be more to the story.[/quote]

I'm an SSMA parent. The email from the school said only the affected classroom would close, but when I arrived for drop-off I was informed that the entire school was closed. [/quote]

This is completely bananas.  I'm really sorry.  I'm pretty pragmatic about how long it will be for my elem kid's class to quarantine, but I can't imagine the entire school closing because a parent was exposed.  I appreciate logical COVID containment and prevention strategies but this is absurd. I'd go directly to the school's Board of Directors and also review the school's covid plans that they had to file with the charter school board to see if this was approved or if they went overboard in response.[/quote]

+1. All schools were required to submit continuous learning and health and safety plans to OSSE over the summer. Concerned SSMA families should check here to see what's stated about notifications and quarantining: https://osse.dc.gov/page/2021-22-lea-continuous-education-plans[/quote]
