COVID-19 Case Tracker
Closure Information
All schools are currently OPEN.
2-Hour Delay Wednesdays
Starting on December 9, PTSD will operate on a two-hour delay every Wednesday. This will provide teachers with additional time to deal with the planning required to prepare for the large percentage of students who are online daily or who transition to and from online instruction.

Health & Safety Plan
The most recent update to our Health and Safety Plan was approved at the March 8, 2021 School Board Meeting.

Symptom Screening Tool
It is important for students and staff to administer the PTSD Symptom Screening Tool every day. If you are symptomatic or may have been in close contact with a positive case you need to stay home and contact the school nurse immediately. Your cooperation with sharing information with our nurses and reporting any positive cases of COVID-19 within your family or close contacts is very important.
