Any teacher who wishes to teach in the eLearning schedule because he/she falls in a high-risk category according to CDC guidelines* should follow the following steps:
1. inform his/her principal of that fact as soon as possible.
2. the principal should then direct the teacher to contact HR Director Wendy Mungillo to provide information regarding the condition or circumstance that causes the person to be high risk. This also pertains to those who live with or care for a high-risk individual in their homes.
We suggest that you wait to hear from Ms. Mungillo about sending the doctor's note.
This is not going to be a cumbersome process with a lot of documentation needed. A simple explanation and a doctor's note will be enough.
