-Travelling Policy: This is a reminder that if a family travelled during the spring break, the kids should quarantine for 7 days from the day they arrived back in town. Even if the parents are fully vaccinated, the children can still carry and transmit the covid-19 to other children.
As you all know that the covid cases are going up very drastically in Michigan. The cases in Michigan yesterday were 8,413 and 57 deaths. Most of the cases are between the ages of 10 and 40. The Michigan governor and CDC recommend for the people who travelled to take covid test (the test should be taken 3-5 days after coming back). It is our duty in front of Allah first, and then in front of the parents to create a safe school environment for all students. Therefore, if any students travel during the spring break and come to school afterwards without a 7 day quarantine, they will not be allowed to attend the school. We appreciate the parents' cooperation in this matter to avoid any unpleasant incidents. We know that this might cause some inconvenience to some parents, but after all we all care for our kids' health and safety. The link to CDC travel guidelines are below:
