Opening of the 2021/22 School Year:
We
are excited about the start of a new school year. Working
together we can help to ensure the safety of our children and
staff at Sayles School. In response to the COVID-19 virus,
Sayles School is following the mandates of the State of
Connecticut as well as the federal government along with guidance
from both the Connecticut State Department of Education and the
Connecticut Department of Public Health. Below is a summary
of the mandates and guidance:
-
Masks
are required for all students, staff and visitors in school.
-
Masks
are required for anyone riding a school bus.
Please have your child wear the mask at their bus stop.
-
Masks
are not mandated for outside recess.
-
Vaccinated
students and staff no longer need to quarantine if they are
exposed to COVID-19, as long as they are asymptomatic.
-
Students
and staff will maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance
in classroom, when feasible with available space.
-
Students
and staff who have been exposed to COVID-19 at school and
maintained 3 feet of physical distance no longer have to
quarantine, as long as they remain asymptomatic and have used
masks correctly.
-
Non-essential
visitors and meetings with outside individuals will occur
after student school hours.
-
Remote
learning is no longer allowed in Connecticut. (There are

www.saylesschool.org and in the front window of the entrance of
the school.
