Please do not enter the building or send your child to school if you, your child, or anyone else living in your household has any symptoms of illness. Please exercise your best judgment in determining whether it is safe for you and your child to return to the community given any family members recent symptoms.
Even if you are not experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, we ask that you limit your time in the building to no more than 15 minutes and avoid congregating in the hallways and lobby before, during, and after drop-off and pick-up. Furthermore, if you plan to travel outside of the Knoxville area to a COVID-19 hotspot at any point in the near future to we ask that you and your child/children self-quarantine before returning to the center.
