We hope everyone had an enjoyable break and we offer our best wishes for 2022.

COVID-19 Protocols Update

On Monday, December 27, 2021 the CDC provided an update on recommended isolation and quarantine period for the general population.  At this time these guidelines have not been accepted by the State of New Hampshire.  Please see the statement below provide by New Hampshire’s DHHS.

“State public health officials have reviewed the press statement issued by the CDC regarding isolation and quarantine and look forward to reviewing the CDC’s complete guidance once published. Once official guidance is available, the State will be able to determine how best to implement these changes in New Hampshire for the general public and in settings such as healthcare, residential facilities and schools. At this time, residents should continue to follow NH's current isolation guidance and quarantine guidance. Changes to the State’s guidance will be based on the CDC’s full recommendations, and will be updated on https://www.covid19.nh.gov/ and in a Health Alert Network message to healthcare providers.”

The Dover School District will continue to follow the Protocols Applied to Pandemic Education (PAPE) and the information on the student screener.  Both documents include a ten-day quarantine and have been attached to this email.  Please be sure to have your student screen each day before school.  We appreciate your help with trying to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
