As we adjust to the pandemic becoming part of our daily lives, it is very important that everyone on campus continues reporting direct COVID-19 exposure and/or positive test results. Letting us know if you are sick or have been exposed is the fastest and most effective way to alert our administrators and faculty of your situation. They can then provide you with guidance on how to proceed and take measures to keep everyone on campus safe.
