Nurses Corner
Dear South Row Families,
I hope everyone had a fun February vacation!
Masking Policy:
As you know our masking policy has changed. I know that for some of you this presents a difficult situation. The students here at South Row continue to impress me with their kindness toward each other and respect for each individual’s choice. Here is a reminder of when a mask is recommended or required:
A face covering that covers the nose and mouth is strongly recommended to be worn by individuals who remain unvaccinated or are otherwise immunocompromised in school buildings, and on school grounds, even when social distancing is observed.
Students and staff returning from a 5-day quarantine following a positive COVID-19 test must follow strict mask use, other than when eating, drinking, or outside, and conduct active monitoring for symptoms, through day 10 following symptoms or positive test date.
Unvaccinated close contacts must wear a mask at school for days 6-10 after exposure.
Masks will be required in all school health offices.
Dr. Lang announced on Wednesday, March 2nd that masks will now be optional on the school bus. Please see his communication for more details.
At Home Test Kits:
If you would like to sign up for free Covid Tests to be send home biweekly from the school, please click this link: Student and Staff Opt In/Register for At Home Antigen Testing Program
If you signed up but would like to opt out, please email me at vandevoordts@chelmsford.k12.ma.us
Third Grade Physicals
Please continue to send in your third graders updated physicals. If you have already done so, thank you!
Warmly,
Nurse V.

There are a few roles that we are seeking volunteers for:

Our May meeting with Board elections will be here before you know it! Each Board position (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) are elected annually, so if any position interests you, don't hesitate to reach out to southrowpto@gmail.com to learn more.
Engineering Day
Every year the 3rd graders enjoy a special day of STEM activities - Engineering Day. If you are interested in helping out, please contact your 3rd grade teacher or Denille Ruth at denille.ruth@gmail.com.
Teacher Appreciation Lunch Committee and Chair/co-Chair
We are bringing back the big staff luncheon this year! Every year the PTO takes over the gym for a day in May to show our staff just how much they mean to us with a big themed potluck lunch complete with decorations and swag. It is probably the most fun committee you could be part of. Please reach out to southrowpto@gmail.com if you would like to join the party!
