COVID Info

DESE has released some New COVID Quarantine Guidance which allow for a quicker return to school in many cases and designates that "classroom contacts" who are three feet or more apart are not subject to the testing and quarantine protocols. At the same time COVID cases are on the rise and we have implemented some additional measures to give students 3 or more feet of space throughout the day in an effort of keep everyone in school. We have added individual desks and tables to kindergarten rooms to give each student more space, have added an additional lunch to allow students to spread out more but still eat in the cafeteria, and will continue to encourage hand washing at key points throughout the day.

As always, please know that our staff are working follow the state and district guidelines they are given while providing your children with a high quality, caring, and engaging education. If you have any questions about school or our protocols, please feel free to reach out to us.

COVID Symptoms Reminder

Thank you all for your continued effort in keeping our students and staff safe at CES.

A PCR test is required for any major symptoms. A rapid antigen test or PCR test is required for a combination of minor symptoms prior to coming back to school. Our school nurse is available for guidance if needed via email smoisan@dcrsd.org or phone 508.248.7774.
