MESSAGE FROM MR. PRICE
Dear Parents,
I am blessed to rejoin the team at LC and I am grateful for the warm welcome
back! Our team strives daily to make sure that LC is a place where all of our
students receive the love and support needed for them to discover their unique
giftedness and in time, understand how they can share their gifts with each
other and the world.
I look forward to our renewed partnership and I thank you for your trust.
Peace,
Dan Price
Associate Principal of Elementary Education
Welcome Back Mr. Price!
Students and staff welcomed Mr. Price back as the Associate Principal of
Elementary Education and everyone was so excited to see him! Mr. Price had
the chance to talk with both old and new students and catch up on how things
were going. The students also did an amazing job creating welcome back
signs inside the building. A special shout out to the 5th grade for their amazing
welcome back board!

HEALTH & WELLNESS
COVID INFORMATION

Nurse Updates:
Choosing Safer Activities - Click Here
Students with Food Allergies:
Please be aware that an ice cream truck will be at the Elementary School on May
7th. Nurse Kim will have an allergy free option available. Please call her with any
questions or concerns.
Covid symptoms and allergies can appear very similar.
If your student has allergies, please submit a doctor’s note stating this to Nurse Kim. This
way if your student presents with congestion/runny nose, a documented condition of
allergies will be on file. Your student may then be able to remain in in-person learning
instead of being sent home for MD assessment.
COVID Symptoms:
Below is a full list of symptoms for which parents/guardians should monitor their children
for:
Fever of 100F or higher
Chills; shaking chills
Cough - not due to other known causes such as physician documented allergies or
chronic cough
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
New loss of taste or smell
Headache
Muscle aches or body aches
Nausea/Vomiting or diarrhea
Fatigue when in combination with other symptoms
Sore throat
Nasal congestion or runny nose - not due to other known physician documented
causes such as allergies; or when in combination with other symptoms.
If your student has a symptom on the COVID list, please keep them home and attend
classes as a virtual learner if possible. Students with symptoms of COVID will need a
doctor’s clearance or a negative COVID test to return to school.
**New COVID Policy (Updated 5/3/2021):**
If a student is a Confirmed Positive COVID case :
They must isolate for 10 days from either the date of symptom onset or the date of
testing, if they are asymptomatic. They may return to school/sports on day 11 but
will need a doctor’s note to return to sports or gym if applicable. *See below
If a student is a Close Contact to a Positive COVID case, there are 3 options for
quarantine:
Option 1: 7 days of strict quarantine. This requires a negative PCR test done on
day 5 or later and the student having no symptoms. The student then may return to
school/sports on day 8. Parent must continue to monitor student for symptoms
for the full 14 days
Option 2: Strict quarantine for 10 days, return on day 11 and monitor student’s
symptoms for the remaining 4 days. There is no test required for this option.
Option 3: Quarantine for the full 14 days
*Return to School/Gym/Sports/Activities after Positive COVID
The Massachusetts Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics (MCAAP) has issued
guidance that Mass. youth returning to sports after COVID should have a Physician's
clearance and have a gradual return to activity. The reason is that COVID may have
adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. The MCAAP has recently updated its
guidance on this topic and it can be found here.
