Good Day Dover School Community,
We will return to in-person instruction for all students K-12 starting on Thursday, January 6th. A few reminders; if your child is not feeling well or has any covid-like symptoms, please do not send the student to school and contact your child’s school. We are distributing the home test-kits until 6:30 tonight in front of the high school main entrance. Reminder, you can pick up one kit per enrolled student.
If your child tests positive for COVID or is symptomatic, please email the nurses at covidreporting@doverschools.org. Please include your child's full name, grade, and date of symptoms or positive test.

Due to the staffing-impact the pandemic has had on our operations and system, we will need to be remote for grades 3-12 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Wingdale Elementary School, grades K-2, will be LIVE and in-person all week.
The plan is to assess and determine if we can resume in-person instruction for grades 3-12 starting Thursday. We will communicate by Wednesday any updates and/or important information to be aware of.
All staff/faculty check school email for additional information. Please be safe, communicate with your teachers, and get back with any questions. Thank you.
We are looking forward to welcoming students and staff back on Monday 1/3! Have a happy and healthy new year!
We hope you are having a nice holiday break. Please make sure your devices are charged up for school on Monday, January 3rd. As always, we are working closely with our local Department of Health regarding any updates or changes in guidance. Enjoy the long weekend and have a healthy, successful, and wonderful new year! Any questions get back to us.
Thank you and all the best.

Reminder:
Families are reminded and encouraged to be mindful of indications their children may exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 and to seek testing when such symptoms are present. The CDC maintains a list of COVID-19 symptoms on its website. In the event that a child is exhibiting COVID like symptoms they should not attend school that day, or until symptoms subside. Any student or staff member with a fever of 100°F or greater and/or symptoms of possible COVID-19 virus should stay home from school and seek medical advice. This list below is not all inclusive as some individuals may display other symptoms or none at all. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html
