During this past week, our NHS Game Changers led discussions in 10th grade classrooms around healthy relationships and the role we play in preventing relationship violence. Our Game Changers group consists of 37, 11th and 12th Grade student leaders that we trained by Northeastern University's Center for Sport in Society and the Mentors in Violence Prevention curriculum. These courageous student leaders impact their own peers with their class facilitation skills, and will expand to the middle schools for 8th grade presentations after April break.

Just a reminder, if your child tests positive for Covid-19, they must stay home for 5 days. The day they started symptoms is Day 0, the next day is Day 1, then Day 2, etc. They may return to school on Day 6 and must wear a mask for an additional 5 days. A headache, scratchy throat, congestion/runny nose, cough, and/or fever are some of the more common symptoms of Covid-19.

Siblings and close contacts do not need to quarantine and can come to school as long as they are not having symptoms of illness. However, they must wear a mask for 10 days when around others following a Covid exposure.
