Student Sick Policy - Are you wondering if you should send your child to school? The updated Student Sick Policy incorporates information specific to COVID in with our “regular” sick policy.
Updated quarantine and isolation guidelines - AOWL has adjusted its guidelines for quarantining and isolating to match the CDC recommendations. Since individual circumstances dictate the exact timing for returning to school, the COVID Coordinator will help you work through your student’s timeline. Please visit the CDC website to see the new guidelines.
Free at-home COVID tests! Every household is now able to order 4 free at-home COVID rapid antigen tests. To order tests for your household, please visit COVIDtests.gov
More free at-home COVID tests! Minnesota health insurers are beginning to cover the cost of at-home COVID tests. This article in the Star Tribune contains more information about the new benefit. Please contact your medical insurance company to find out how they are handling reimbursement.
