This has been the game of the month so far.  And I think the only loser in this game so far is me...

Absolutely! We have also had quite a bit of wind lately, so that doesn't help make it any easier.

Same! My letter board at home says "May: not Winter, not Summer, all pollen!"

Thankfully in FL we are largely through the pollen season.  It was a beast!  I did send a lot of kids to get tested even though their parents promised me "it's just allergies" and I am glad I did.  I caught several cases before they returned to school.  Stay the course!  You are so close to the end of the year!

Ugh. Last week I had a student who was eligible to return from quarantine on Thursday not return because of persistent "allergies" that couldn't be COVID because, after all, they hadn't been anywhere....but to school....which is why they were in quarantine. 

Came to school Monday & Tuesday this week because they were feeling better and then, Bam! Had a headache last night and no taste or smell this morning. AND I'm betting dollars to donuts I'm going to get to re-quarantine that entire class. I.Hate.Covid!
