[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sela is planning to keep to the original published school calendar. Staff will return Jan. 3rd and take a rapid test. Students will sign up for a time slot to take a rapid test offered for free at the school on Jan 3rd or if that's not possible, take one the morning of Jan 4th and be permitted to attend school in person w/a negative test.

The exception is for unvaccinated students who traveled outside of the DMV and returned to the area Dec 30th or later, these students must receive a PCR test no sooner than 3 days after their return and can only enter school with a negative PCR result.

As a parent, I'm pretty pleased w/this plan.[/quote]

Its ridiculous to impose rules on those who travel, considering the biggest source of covid is right here in DC. We went to the midwest for xmas and it was delightfully not overrun with covid (for the moment anyhow.)[/quote]

Hardly the point of the thread. [/quote]

Huh? The thread is about what charters are planning. This is what Sela is planning. Hopefully there aren't a lot of unvaxxed kids there, but its not helpful to impose silly rules that make no sense. It only causes people to lie. [/quote]

Exactly - the thread is for reporting about what the charters are doing, which I did. Clearly you're not familiar with the school, because if you were you'd know that there's a lot of pre-K3 and pre-K4 kids there, therefore a lot of kids who are not eligible to be vaccinated period, which as a parent, I think warrants a little extra precaution.  I'm not sure why you're complaining about what a school you're not familiar with is planning to do in order to keep their students safe. They're not just shutting down and going virtual for days/weeks like a lot of other schools. [/quote]

I'm complaining about the rules for kids who travel. It's ridiculous to penalize those families who are likely going to places with much lower rates (which is everywhere else in the country). It's silly, doesn't help prevent covid at Sela, and just promotes the idea that you need to lie. If they want to ask for PCRs for all Pkers or all students, that would make more sense.[/quote]
