We hope that you have had a good week and that Thanksgiving provided time for all to ponder the many things for which we are thankful. As you know, on November 20, Governor Scott’s Executive Order suspended multi-household social gatherings. The Order prohibits multiple households from participating in the same social gatherings, including group trips, gatherings, related ceremonies, holiday events, parties, celebrations, and sharing accommodations with anyone outside of your household. At a recent press conference, Scott mentioned that a significant number of positive cases can be traced back to social gatherings.
The suspension of multi-household social gatherings acts as an extension of the state’s travel guidance in which the Governor asks families to quarantine if they travel out of state or attend or host a multi-household gathering. We will not be asking students and staff this question upon their return to school. We do, however, expect families and staff to do the right thing and keep their students home if they have not conformed with the Governor’s order. If we learn that your child(ren) did travel or gather with other households, we will call families to come pick them up and keep them home until their quarantine period is complete.
Thank you for being considerate of the health and safety of all members of our school community. We are doing everything we possibly can to maintain in-person instruction for as many students as possible. This can only happen if we all follow the health and safety guidance.
If you traveled or if you participated in multi-household gatherings, please keep your child(ren) home in quarantine, and let the school know what dates your student will be out of school.
If you have any questions, please contact CVSD COVID Coordinator Jocelyn Bouyea (jbouyea@cvsdvt.org) or the school nurse at your child’s school. You may also post questions on the
form on our Reopening Site and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate these challenging times.

Superintendent
