COVID Reminder & Protocols
We are working hard to keep the students and staff safe here at Granite Park. Please help us by following the protocols provided:
- If your student is not feeling well, they need to stay home, no exceptions. Our teachers will work with them to make sure students stay caught up.
- If someone in your household gets tested, please wait until the results come back negative before allowing the student or siblings to return to school.
- When a student is exposed to someone who has tested positive, they are required to quarantine for 14 days from the positive test.
- If a student at school tests positive, the Salt Lake County Health Department will work with the person infected and the school to determine who needs to be quarantined. The identity of that student will remain confidential.
- Continue to wash hands and make wise decisions outside of the school environment.
- As parents, please carefully consider what activities you are promoting and encouraging your students to attend.
Have a wonderful weekend and please don’t hesitate to call us if you have questions or concerns. It is a pleasure to work with your students.
Sincerely,
Chris Griffiths
Principal
