Hello PNB School Families,

We have seen a spike in positive COVID-19 cases the past couple of weeks. We want to remind you that if your student is experiencing any symptoms or has been in contact with a positive case they should not attend classes and should test for COVID-19 if possible. Please keep the school office informed of any symptoms, exposures and positive or negative test results by emailing pnbschool@pnb.org. 

King County is currently in the moderate/medium contagion range.  Below is some guidance on how best to keep healthy at this level: 

  • Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines: Get vaccinated and boosted. Vaccines are available for everyone ages 5 and older. Booster doses are available for everyone 12 and older.
  • Wear a face mask in public indoor settings. Upgrade to higher-quality masks, including KN95, KF94, N95, or a cloth mask on top of a surgical mask. Higher-quality masks will most benefit people who are at high risk of severe illness, are over 65 or are unvaccinated.
  • Get tested. Testing is especially important if you have COVID-19 symptoms or were recently in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. You should also get tested before and after traveling or getting together with others.
  • Stay home if sick or recently exposed. Follow all isolation and quarantine guidance, including wearing a face mask. COVID-19 is highly contagious. You can spread COVID-19 even if you do not have symptoms.
  • Wash your hands. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use a hand sanitizer.
