Please Review Hazel Grove Health Guidelines
There are lots of questions about how to deal with COVID issues in our schools. Such as, how to tell if it’s COVID or just allergies.
There is some new information out on the district homepage (https://kckps.org/re-opening-health-safety/ ) that goes over the updated illness and exclusion policy. We want to ensure everyone here at Hazel Grove is healthy and safe. Learn more in the Wellness Corner section of our website.
