FLU SHOT UPDATE
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is removing the requirement for flu vaccination for attendance in childcare/preschool, primary, secondary and postsecondary education. Preliminary data show that this has been a mild flu season to date, presumably as people have received their seasonal flu vaccine and have been adhering to mask-wearing and social distancing due to COVID-19. Given the intensive Commonwealth-wide efforts regarding COVID-19 vaccination, DPH wants to alleviate the burden to obtain flu vaccination and focus on continuing our COVID -19 vaccination efforts.
DPH continues to strongly recommend that everyone age six months and older receive their seasonal flu vaccine each year.
St. Bernadette Absence Policy: Revised January 14, 2021
1. A child who is absent from school for any reason must communicate the
dates and reason for absence in a document addressed to all of the following:
2. If a child is absent from school for 1-5 days, the parent will be in communication with that child’s in-person, homeroom, teacher to determine if a child is well enough to complete assignments. If appropriate, assignments will be picked up at school or posted on Seesaw.
3. If a child is/will be absent for 6 days or longer , parents will send a document communicating the reason and dates for absence to the above faculty. The child will become an E-Learner. After all dates are confirmed the nurse or the classroom teacher will contact the appropriate staff to organize the change in learning modes. E-Learning teachers and/or the seesaw coordinator will facilitate the transition to remote learning, as well as the return to the student’s homeroom.
4. If a child is required to quarantine , that child will become an E-Learner and will join the remote class for their grade level. You will receive a call from the Health Office to discuss the specifics. The nurse will inform parents, E-Learning teachers, main office, and homeroom teachers of the quarantine dates. E-Learning teachers/seesaw coordinator will facilitate the transition to remote learning, as well as the return to the student’s homeroom.
It is very important to maintain direct and consistent communication to ensure a smooth transition between E-Learning and In-Person learning.
Thank you for your cooperation.
