Otero County has recently moved to Protect Our Neighbors Status.  This is good news as it means that the level of COVID incidence in the county is very low.  We were approaching PON status in October before the numbers started moving the other direction and we had reached the Red level by Christmas.  

     The change to PON will not greatly change the way things look at school.  It does not remove the mask mandate or change the CHSAA/CDPHE guidelines for athletics.  Masks will still be required of everyone in the gym for Volleyball.  We will be able to have larger crowds at events.

        While incidence may be decreasing in Otero county it is not 0.   The vaccination rate is increasing in the county.  The school has access to BINAX rapid tests that can help manage symptoms and quarantine situations that might arise.  We started the third quarter with 3 remote learning days for the JH/HS and have been 100% in person since then. As many of us travelled over the past week for spring break we need to be diligent in following the precautions that have helped us reach PON status. Let's work together to finish the fourth quarter 100% in person.  Please if you have any symptoms or questions contact the school nurse at stacy.davis@swink.k12.co.us

Let's continue to work together to bring this school year to a strong finish.
