Dear Families, 

Wishing everyone a safe and very Happy Halloween!

SCHOOL NEWS

On Friday, almost all of Stanton went to Richardson's to celebrate our best first quarter EVER!!!! Students are making great choices, so this was their PBIS reward. We're SO proud of our kids!

The Lotus Guiding Coalition, a leadership team made up of administrators and staff, was recently videoed because of the school's outstanding progress, recognition as a Model School, and the collaboration shown by this team! We're not yet sure what exactly will be done with the footage, but we sure are proud of all the work that's happening for our Lotus students and staff! 

COVID PROCEDURES

For a POSITIVE COVID case, the following is required

Positive individual isolation period of 5 days at home. The student may RETURN ON DAY 6 as long as they are symptom free and fever free for 24 hours prior to return.

Day 0 = 1ST DAY OF SYMPTOMS OR a POSITIVE test 

Day 1 = Day after symptoms began

Day 5 = Last day of required isolation

Day 6 = RETURN TO SCHOOL- IF symptom free and fever free for 24 hours prior to return

Medical Guidelines

• Please DO NOT send your child to school sick. If they have a fever, vomit, a persistent cough or have diarrhea, please keep them home for at least 24 hours and until they are feeling better.  See our Sick Day Guidelines here for more information.

• Notify us if they have tested positive for COVID, Flu, Strep or other diagnosed condition so we can partner with you on a plan for them. 

• We are no longer participating in surveillance testing, but we do have rapid tests on hand. We will only do a rapid test with parent/guardian permission. We can also direct you to easy locations to get PCR tests or at home rapid tests if you need them. 

• We will not be providing remote access unless specifically needed, and this will be determined on a case by case basis.
