Superintendent Libby Bonesteel recently sent a letter to families. It explains some of the State of Vermont's reopening plan, called Vermont Forward . Here are some important changes: Any Vermont resident who travels to another state does not have to quarantine when they return. Anyone who travels out of state must get a Covid test within 3 days of returning to Vermont unless they are fully vaccinated. Visitors are allowed to visit Vermont without quarantine. School information: At UES, the morning tickets will be changing. The new tickets are pink.  We ask that families continue to take your child's temperature in the morning before school. If you travel, please be extra cautious when you return. If your child has any symptoms of a common cold, or Covid, please keep them at home and get tested. If you have questions, please contact one of us, your child's classroom teacher, or your school nurse. Sylvia, Hannah and Laura
