COVID-19

Through the COVID-19 emergency The Altamont School encouraged masking, testing and vaccinations for all members of our community. As part of our continued vigilance, if a student or faculty member has fever (100 degrees or more), they are to stay home and get tested. Those who test positive for COVID-19 are to stay home for five days and until they are fever-free for 24 hours. Upon returning to school, they are to mask for five days.
