Dear LR Families:
Thursday, November 12, Governor Parson announced modifications to state guidelines for Missouri schools during COVID-19. Under the updated guidance, proper use of masks in schools can result in a “modified quarantine” instead of the normal quarantine protocol for school age children K-12. We have worked alongside our county health leaders to determine the best way to safely implement these new guidelines. Please read the full release from the Springfield Greene County Health Department.
Modified quarantine now allows close contact students to continue in-person school during quarantine when both parties were properly masked.
There will still be situations during school hours where modified quarantine can not be applied. It is still important we try and maintain at least 6 feet of distance for no more than 15 accumulated minutes throughout the day to minimize the spread of the virus.
LR will continue to be diligent in our efforts to minimize the spread. Proper hand hygiene, frequent classroom sanitization, and disinfecting high touch points at regular intervals throughout the day continue to be a focus.
For more information, please visit the district Modified Quarantine FAQ and the weekly district dashboard.
As we enter the holiday season and near the completion of the fall semester, we want to convey our appreciation for your encouraging words and support. There is much to be thankful for at LR. #WeAreLR.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the District Administrative Office at 753-2891.
