Invitación en español

Cuidadores de estudiantes con IEP y planes 504

Como parte de nuestro esfuerzo continuo para mejorar nuestra programación para estudiantes con Planes de Educación Individualizados (IEP) y Planes 504, el Distrito Escolar del Condado de Weld RE-1 participará en una revisión de sistemas. Esta revisión de sistemas se llevará a cabo durante el mes de mayo. La revisión de sistemas ayudará a nuestro distrito a identificar áreas de fortaleza en nuestra programación, así como a determinar las prioridades para los esfuerzos de mejora.

Como socio valioso en este trabajo, nos gustaría invitarlo a participar en un grupo de enfoque de 11:30 a 12:30 el martes 16 de mayo en el Centro de Servicios Educativos en Gilcrest. El grupo de enfoque se llevará a cabo en la Sala de Juntas. Durante el grupo de enfoque, se le pedirá que responda preguntas y comparta sus opiniones sobre los servicios que recibe su estudiante. Se proporcionarán donas y café.

Si desea hablar individualmente con nuestro socio en este trabajo en lugar de participar en un grupo de enfoque, llame a Laura Lofton al 970-350-4201 para programar una llamada telefónica.

Gracias de antemano por tu participación

Caregivers of Students with IEPs and 504 Plans,

As a part of our ongoing effort to improve our programming for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 Plans, Weld County School District RE-1 will be engaging in a systems review. This systems review will take place during the month of May. The systems review will help our district to identify areas of strength in our programming as well as determine priorities for improvement efforts. As a valued partner in this work, we would like to invite you to participate in a focus group from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. on Friday, May 5 at the Educational Service Center in Gilcrest. The focus group will be held in the Board Room. During the focus group, you will be asked to answer questions and share your thoughts about the services your student is receiving. Donuts and coffee will be provided. Should you wish to speak individually with our partner in this work rather than participate in a focus group, please call Laura Lofton at 970-350-4201 to set up a phone call.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Si desarrolla síntomas de COVID-19, quédese en casa y hágase una prueba. El distrito actualmente tiene pruebas disponibles si las necesita.

Directrices de CDPHE: Si da positivo:

Puede dejar de aislarse después de cinco días completos completos si:

• Dio positivo, pero no tiene ningún síntoma.
• Tuvo síntomas leves, está empezando a sentirse mejor y no tiene fiebre.

Su primer día de aislamiento es el primer día completo después de que comenzó a sentir síntomas o dio positivo.

No se requieren pruebas para detener el aislamiento. Si tiene acceso a una prueba y quiere hacerse la prueba, el mejor enfoque es usar una prueba de antígeno (como una prueba rápida en el hogar) hacia el final del período de aislamiento de cinco días si no tiene síntomas o tiene fiebre. -libre y sus síntomas están mejorando. Si su resultado es positivo, debe continuar aislándose hasta después del día 10. Si el resultado es negativo, puede dejar de aislarse después de 5 días.

Si deja de aislarse después de cinco días, debe continuar tomando precauciones durante cinco días más.

• Use una máscara bien ajustada alrededor de otras personas, tanto en su hogar como en público. No vaya a lugares donde no pueda usar una máscara.
• Evite comer y beber cerca de otras personas.
• Evite el contacto con personas que corren un alto riesgo de enfermarse gravemente por COVID-19.
• Evita viajar.

Si está en un hogar con alguien que ha dado positivo

Si puede aislarse del miembro del hogar (sin contacto), puede regresar al trabajo/escuela. Vigilar los síntomas. Si se vuelve sintomático, quédese en casa y hágase la prueba.

Si no puede aislarse, deberá quedarse en casa durante el período de aislamiento según lo requiera el miembro del hogar que dio positivo.

Personas que no necesitan estar en cuarentena

Las personas que no necesitan ponerse en cuarentena después de la exposición incluyen:

• Personas que están al día con todas las dosis recomendadas de vacunas.
• Personas que dieron positivo por COVID-19 (con una prueba viral, no con una prueba de anticuerpos) en los últimos 90 días.

22-23 COVID-19 Protocol

If you develop symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and take a test. The district currently has tests available if you need one.

CDPHE Guidelines: If You Test Positive

You can stop isolating after five full full days if:

• You tested positive, but don’t have any symptoms.
• You had mild symptoms, you are starting to feel better, and you don’t have a fever.

Your first day of isolation is the first full day after you started feeling symptoms or tested positive.

Testing is not required to stop isolation. If you have access to a test and want to test, the best approach is to use an antigen test (such as a rapid at-home test) toward the end of the five-day isolation period if you do not have symptoms or are fever-free and your symptoms are improving.  If your result is positive, you should continue to isolate until after day 10. If the result is negative, you can stop isolating after 5 days.

If you stop isolating after five days, you should continue taking precautions for five more days.

• Wear a well fitted mask around other people, both in your home and in public. Do not go to places where you are unable to wear a mask.
• Avoid eating and drinking around other people.
• Avoid contact with people who are at high risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.
• Avoid travel.

If You Are In A Household with Someone Who Has Tested Positive

If you can isolate yourself from the household member (no contact), you can return to work/school. Monitor symptoms. If you become symptomatic, stay home and test.

**If you can't isolate yourself,**you will need to stay home through the isolation period as required by the household member that has tested positive.

Attached are some flowcharts to help you navigate through illness or exposure. Please click here to see Flow charts. Please see section "COVID-19 Resources".

Best wishes for a healthy and safe year!
