People with symptoms of COVID-19 should get tested immediately. Those who test positive should notify contacts who may have been exposed. People with COVID-19 should isolate for at least 5 full days after their symptoms start (or positive test result in asymptomatic people) and wear a mask after leaving isolation for 10 days.
People who have been exposed to COVID-19 should wear a mask for 10 full days and get tested at least 5 full days after exposure. CDC no longer recommends quarantine of exposed persons in most settings, regardless of vaccination status.
Respiratory viruses circulate year-round in Alaska. Actions such as staying home when sick, washing hands, and improving ventilation can protect you, your family, and your community from COVID-19, influenza, and other infectious diseases.

Library
Library
All books are due back May 5! If students have lost books, they can either replace them or pay for a new copy through Office 5 or Mrs. Berg.
Students returning to ASD next year will KEEP their Chromebooks and take them with them over the summer to have for next school year. Any students leaving the district will need to return Chromebooks to the library.
The district will not provide extra chargers to students who forget or lose theirs, so please remind your student to keep track of their charger and device. I recommend charging devices at home to avoid losing or mixing up chargers with other students.
Students will all be receiving a public library card that can be used at Loussac and the other APL branches so they can keep up on reading over the summer!
