Update- Covid Cases at OLV

Covid Vaccination Records
Please load your child's Covid vaccination records into Magnus Health. With the increase in cases recently, it will help us to determine if your child may remain in school or need to be collected if identified as a close contact.
Under immunizations, record/COVID Vaccination Card - load a copy of the record.
Antigen Rapid Tests
Parents are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to have a supply of at-home antigen tests available to use.
Masks
Please consider sending your child to school in a KN95 mask (we do have a supply available at OLV). Alternatively, please use a medical mask covered by a cloth mask to secure the medical mask in place.
Weather
Temperatures and wind chills are expected to be quite cold this week. Please remind your student to dress warmly in layers and to bring appropriate outdoor gear (coat, hat, gloves, etc.). Even if we stay inside for recess, please remember that students may need to walk to the music room or go outside during the school day.
