Dear LS Students, Families, and Staff,
Thank you for indicating your interest in a LS hosted free vaccination clinic. I received confirmation today that LS is approved to host a vaccination clinic for students and staff 8 am to 1 pm on Tuesday, January 4. What will be available is the adult (12+) dose of Pfizer for 1st/2nd/Booster shot. This includes the 16+ population for those boosters, as long as it has been 6 months since the second dose. The clinic will also offer Moderna for boosters only. I will forward the sign up links to you once I receive them.
Since my last COVID update I have two new positive student cases to report. We are clearly experiencing a trend upward since the Thanksgiving Break.
LS Vaccination Status:
Students 1384/1512 = 91.53%
Staff 233/234 = 99.57%

Mask wearing is required for all indoor public spaces in the Town of Sudbury. I do not anticipate a change in the current in school mask requirement before January. MIAA is requiring mask wearing for winter indoor athletics.
Thank you for all for taking care with your own health as well as being mindful of the health of others.
Sincerely,
Bella Wong
