First, if our COVID coordinator contacts you, you may choose to share your child’s vaccination status with them. The reason for this is because the guidelines on when to return to school, or if a quarantine is even necessary, are different for vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
Second, some families are receiving texts from the health department advising that your child should be quarantined, but it is already past the posted date. Understand that government agencies are way behind in addressing all reported cases. Most likely, we have already taken care of the necessary quarantine period by the time you are contacted by them. However, feel free to contact our COVID coordinator if you have any concerns.
We are pleased to announce that Mr. Micheal DeMers will be joining Swift Creek staff next week. Mr. DeMers position will be that of full-time COVID coordinator. We appreciate the work that Ms. Hizer has put into this so far, but we are very thankful that she will be able to turn these responsibilities over to him.
We will soon have on-site COVID testing at Swift Creek. More information about that will be coming to you.

Darrell Propst, Principal
