The purpose of this email is to provide a brief overview of Covid safety precautions and protocols AT THIS TIME. These are the protocols that will likely be in place for the start of the school year. As you may be aware, a more contagious variant of Covid has caused significant increases in cases in many areas of the country. The following protocols were developed after reviewing the guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Ohio Department of Health (ODH), and through conversations with Dr. Gaskell and Mr. Pepper with the Athens City-County Health Department.
