As many of you know, for the last four years, Springmont has kept close tabs on the CDC's COVID-19 guidelines, continually updating the school's mitigation protocols and health policies to reflect its updated recommendations. Just before Spring Break, the CDC updated its guidelines. They now recommend that COVID be treated like other respiratory viruses, such as RSV and the flu, and endorse people resuming normal activity (including work and school) once symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours and they have been fever free without medication for at least 24 hours. They continue to encourage enhanced air filtration and ask those who have been ill to help stop the spread by practicing enhanced hygiene and wearing a well-fitted mask.

Please note that all cases of COVID, as well as other communicable illnesses such as Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye), Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease (HFMD), Influenza/Flu, Measles, Pinworms, RSV, Strep, and Varicella (Chickenpox), should continue to be reported to feedback@springmont.com so that we can notify families of potential exposure. 

As of today, March 18, Springmont will update the COVID-19 policies in our Key Information Parent Handbook to align with the CDC's updated guidelines.
