Keep your student home and submit a positive COVID notificaiton form found on our district website. 

COVID Positive Notification Form

An individual testing positive for COVID can return to school when the following criteria have been met:

1. At least 5 days have passed since symptoms first appeared; and
   • If asymptomatic, at least 5 days from the date of the positive viral test. 
2. At least one day (24 hours) has passed since recovery/resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and
3. The individual has improvement in symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath).

***It is recommended for the individual to continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others at home and in public for 5 additional days (day 6 through day 10) after the end of their 5-day isolation period. If they are unable to wear a mask when around others, they should continue to isolate for 10 days. ***

No.

Full question: Can a student or employee who has tested positive for COVID-19 return to school/work, if they feel better and/or test negative for COVID prior to the completion of their 5-10 day isolation?

No.  Once an individual has tested positive for COVID-19, they must complete the 5 day minimum isolation period, regardless of a negative test result.

If your child is sick and not feeling well, they should stay home.  However, if they have  symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and want to return to school before completing the 5 day self-isolation period, seek medical attention for additional guidance and COVID-19 testing.

No.  You must keep your student home until you receive their test results.  

When a student is absent from school, the student—upon arrival or return to school—must bring a note signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence. A note signed by the student, even with the parent’s permission, will not be accepted unless the student is 18 or older or is an emancipated minor under state law. An email from the parent may be accepted, but the district reserves the right to require a written note.

If the individual resides with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, CDC guidelines recommend the following:  

• It is recommended the individual quarantine for at least 5 days after the date of last contact; quarantine may be discontinued after 5 days if the individual remains without sypmptoms and tests negative.
• The individual should closely monitor for symptoms consistent with COVID-19 for 10 days after the date of last contact.
• It is recommended for all individuals who have been in close contact to continue to wear a well-fitted mask when around others at home and in public until 10 days after their last close contact with someone with COVID-19.
• INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED OR WHO HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 IN THE LAST 90 DAYS AND ARE FULLY RECOVERED, DO NOT NEED TO QUARANTINE AFTER EXPOSURE.
• The decision to quarantine due to exposure will be at the discretion of the parent.

• Email to the class teacher
• Check Canvas daily
• Submit assignments in Canvas

If a student is absent, he/she has one (1) day for each day absent to turn in the work.
