MISD COVID PROTOCOL

Based on a review of the science, McGregor ISD will be implementing a new 3-stage COVID protocol beginning Tuesday, September 7. You can see the plan below. Here are the highlights:

Stage 1 (Positivity Rate < 2%)
- Masks encouraged but not required
- Quarantining of siblings/close contacts in the same household
- Short-term campus closures if needed
Stage 2 (Positivity Rate between 2% and 5%)
- Face coverings required for seven (7) days or until the positivity rate drops below 2%, whichever is longer
- Quarantining of siblings/close contacts in the same household
- Short-term campus closures if needed
Stage 3 (Positivity Rate > 5%)
- Campus closure

In addition, CDC guidance states that individuals over 2 years old should wear a mask while on public transportation. They further state that the masking requirement applies to school buses. Beginning next Tuesday, all bus riders will need to wear a face covering.

HELP KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE...

What can you do to help:

Do not send your child to school if they are exhibiting COVID symptoms; contact the school to arrange for a COVID test to be administered
Do not administer medications that mask symptoms and then send your child to school
Consider keeping all of your children at home if anyone in the home is positive for COVID
Consider having your child wear a mask especially if they are not vaccinated or are not eligible for the vaccine
Consider having your child vaccinated if they are eligible
