Dear Hooksett Memorial School Families,

As the holiday season approaches and families consider their plans for family gatherings, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of the state’s travel guidance.

People traveling outside the six New England States (NH, ME, VT, MA, CT, RI) still need to self-quarantine for 14-days from their last day of travel outside New England. As of November 12, 2020, travelers now have the option to shorten their travel-related quarantine if ​ALL​ the following apply:

1. The person gets a molecular-based test (an antigen, rapid test, is not acceptable) on day 7 (or later) of their quarantine;
2. The person tests negative;
3. The person remains asymptomatic.

This 7-day “test out” of travel quarantine option applies ​ONLY​ to travel-related quarantine and ​NOT​ quarantine due to other types of exposure.

If you know that your child will be traveling outside of New England at any time, it would be helpful if you would let us know ahead of time so that we can prepare for their absence and get you the materials that they need to learn from home.

We feel very fortunate to be able to offer in-person instruction for Hooksett Memorial School families. Thank you for doing your part to help us continue with this learning model.

Sincerely,

Stephen Harrises
HMS Principal
