CLOSE CONTACT COVID CASE
A close contact would be anyone (masked or maskless) who was within 6 feet of the positive case for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. Please let me know if you have any more questions. If you are identified as a close contact and received a phone call from Ms. Melgar or Ms. Grace, please quarantine as instructed. You may go to El Sereno MS to get your PCR COVID test on the 5th day of quarantine if you are asymptomatic. If your results are negative, you may return to school. Please see the infographic below for guidance.
ZOOM and WORK PACKETS
ALL students asked to quarantine may connect with the teacher to ZOOM in for instruction and/or receive a work packet to complete work at home.
Students are entitled to ZOOM in for up to 3 hours of the day but should not expect teachers to provide 1:1 instruction during this time. You will be able to see virtually what you are missing in class and follow along at home.
ABSENCES
All absences due to COVID is marked as a "I" in MiSiS and are automatically excused. While they do count as an absence on your report card, they will not count against you @ Multnomah as we will continue to recognize your attendance efforts (disregarding the 1's) as we award our students with monthly certificate and prizes for attendance excellence.
SYMPTOMATIC COVID TESTING
If a student or employee is symptomatic, they must test in their vehicle at our symptomatic site at Gage Middle School. Enter at Miles ES entrance on Passaic Street behind Gage MS.
