We are hiring. We have 2 teaching positions open for the 2nd semester.
Information from the Lee County Health Department regarding the CDC guidelines:
All Lee County Residents should continue to abide by 14-day quarantine guidelines until further notice. The new guidelines outlined by CDC for 7- or 10-day quarantines have not been adopted by IDPH at this time. With the new guidelines come other requirements that our community members will need to adhere to in order to have the reduced quarantine time, if those are utilized at a later date. Any changes will be announced by LCHD.
Our nurses and administrators will continue to follow the 14-day quarantine guidelines. We will keep you informed if that should change in the future.
Remember to reach out to your building nurse if you have any questions, or if you need to report a symptomatic or COVID positive student.
