What is the school's COVID protocol?
If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID, they must quarantine.
Stay home for at least 5 days after the start of symptoms (Day 0) or after the date of the first positive test (Day 0) if no symptoms).
The quarantine can end after Day 5 if:
- Symptoms are not present, or are mild and improving; AND
- Fever has been resolved for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication).
- If fever is present, isolation should be continued until 24 hours after the fever resolves.
- If symptoms, other than fever, are not improving, continue to isolate until symptoms are improving or until after Day 10.
- Wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings.
Someone in my house has tested positive for COVID. My child has no symptoms and has tested negative. Are they okay to come to school?
Yes. Per the guidance given by the Public Health Department, pupils are no longer required to quarantine if exposed to COVID unless they show symptoms.
My child has COVID symptoms but is testing negative for COVID. Are they okay to come to school?
Yes, however, when your child returns to school, they must wear a mask for 10 days from the onset of COVID symptoms. For example: if your child tests positive on July 1st, they must wear a mask until July 10th.
We encourage all parents to keep their kids home when sick. They are okay to return once they have been fever-free for 24 hours and symptoms are getting better and not worse.
