Important COVID reminders for LHLS Families
The Licking County Health Department has a form to fill out if you have a positive at-home test. Please follow the link, fill out the information, and forward their letter to the school for a child's positive test: LCHD Home Test Reporting
An individual can test positive for up to 90 days from initial infection. If you test your child again, we do not re-quarantine them. We also do not require a student to be tested prior to returning to school after their period of illness.
Any questions about homework while ill can be communicated directly with the teachers.
