HEALTH & WELLNESS COVID Information
Click here for LC's Policy Click here for CDC Mask Guidelines Does your child have a bee sting allergy? The bees are buzzing! Please make sure your student is carrying their EpiPen with them at all times while on campus or on the sports field.
Covid symptoms and allergies can appear very similar. If your student has seasonal allergies, and you haven’t done so already, please submit a doctor’s note stating this to Mrs. Geary. This way if your student presents with congestion/runny nose, a documented condition of allergies will be on file. Your student may then be able to remain in in-person learning instead of being sent home for MD assessment.
State Updates: All students returning to school after being Positive for COVID will need a Physician's clearance and have a gradual return to activity/gym/sports. This new requirement is based on guidance from the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and in consultation with LC’s school physician. The MCAAP guidance on this topic can be found here. Updated Quarantine Protocol:
If a student is a Confirmed Positive COVID case, LC will require a 10 day quarantine. If a student is a Close Contact to a Positive COVID case, there are 3 options for quarantine: Option 1: 7 days of strict quarantine. This requires a negative PCR test done on day 5 or later and the student having no symptoms. The student then may return to school/sports on day 8. Parent must continue to monitor student for symptoms for the full 14 days
Option 2: Strict quarantine for 10 days, return on day 11 andm onitor student’s symptoms for the remaining 4 days. There is no test required for this option.
Option 3: Quarantine for the full 14 days
COVID Testing Reminder: It is of the utmost importance that you inform us when your student is being tested for COVID. This information is confidential and helps us to prepare for contact tracing in the event that the test comes back positive. If anyone in your household is being tested for COVID, your student MUST remain home while the household member is being tested and until the test results are known.
Is your Student Out Today/Remote Learning/Absent ??? Please call the main office and let them know WHY your student is staying home. Be specific please!
Students with symptoms of COVID will need a doctor’s clearance or a negative COVID test to return to school.
COVID Vaccination information: The general public ages 16 years of age and older are eligible to be vaccinated.
Vaccine appointments are open and available through Lowell General! LGH has vaccine availability and wants to spread the word to local schools and organizations! Folks 16 years and older can make an appointment at www.lowellgeneralvaccine.com.

*If your student has been fully vaccinated for COVID please email a copy of their vaccination card to Mrs. Geary at [email protected] Please note: If your student is fully vaccinated and is considered a close contact to a positive COVID case they will not have to quarantine. They should be monitored for symptoms and test if they become symptomatic.
