Dear Students, Staff, and Families,
The communication that was sent out yesterday related to out of state travel has created some confusion. Quarantining would not be necessary if the state visited does not have a high community spread rate. For example, several families are going to New Hampshire for a soccer tournament this weekend. Since New Hampshire is not a state with a high community spread rate at this time, students would not need to quarantine when they return to Rhode Island. However, families would need to check to be sure that New Hampshire is not on the list on the day they return to Rhode Island.
There are only a few states currently on the list with a high community spread rate. Here is the link identifying those states.
I apologize for the confusion and I hope this provides some clarity.
Sincerely,
Bob Mitchell
