Today the Jefferson County Health Department released new guidelines concerning quarantines. Grandview will start following these new guidelines immediately.
The main two takeaways of the new guidelines are:
- Quarantine can end after Day 10 without testing and if no symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring.
- When diagnostic testing resources are sufficient and available, then quarantine can end after Day 7 if a diagnostic specimen tests negative and if no symptoms were reported during daily monitoring.
Below is a link to the press release from the JCHD which includes a link to the Center for Disease Control's new guidelines as well.

Chartwells would like to share some healthy tips and recipes with Eagle Nation.

Eagle Nation:
On Tuesday, November 3, Grandview will, as usual, help fill a need in the community and serve as an election voting site. Due to the projected high voter turnout and the subsequent increased risk of potential viral exposure, we will not have classes on campus. We will instead be having an Alternative Method of Instruction day. The state of Missouri allows schools to have five days where Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) are utilized without having to make them up on the school calendar. On November 3, and all AMI days in the future, all students will be in attendance through our virtual program and will follow the educational plan set forth by their teachers to the fullest extent possible.
More information and responses to questions will be available through your individual building principals.
