Dear PNB School Students and Families,
Below please find important information regarding COVID-19 updates for the start of your classes. You can click here to review the complete PNB COVID protocols.
Please note: Entry into the Phelps Center and/or the Francia Russell Center continues to be restricted to only students at this time. School staff members will be at the doors of both locations in order to greet and guide students to their classes. We understand that this may be disappointing to many families. PNB will continue to have observation days throughout the year that families will be allowed to attend. Please know that this policy is currently under review and we will notify families of any changes.
A few additional key takeaways from the COVID protocols:
MASKS:
- Masking will be optional for all individuals at all PNB facilities. We are prepared to reinstate any masking requirements as needed based on community and onsite transmission and will keep a supply of masks available at all times.
TESTING:
- We are no longer requiring that individuals have negative test results to return to work after a positive COVID test. Following the CDC guidelines, an individual may return after 5 days if their symptoms are improving and they have been fever free for at least 24 hours. They will be required to remain masked at all times for the full 10 days after their positive test results or symptom onset (even if they do test negative in days 6-10).
Best regards,
PNB COVID-19 Safety Team
