COVID-19 Quarantine Guidelines

How does this impact students and staff?

Students & Staff with COVID symptoms must remain home for 10 days after showing symptoms and be fever free for 24 hours or have a negative COVID test and no symptoms for 24 hours before they return to school.

Students or Staff that present COVID symptoms while on campus will be assumed to be COVID positive and will be sent home and must follow these guidelines in order to return to school.

Students or staff living in the same household with a student or family member with symptoms or a positive COVID test must remain out of school for at least 14 days from the last exposure or has a negative COVID test and is symptom free.

Students or staff unable to isolate from a family member with symptoms or a positive COVID test will not be able to return to school for an additional 14 days after the last date of exposure to the original family member.

Students or staff that had contact with “Person A” that lasted longer than 15 minutes during which they were unmasked and closer than six feet would need to self quarantine for 14 days from the last day of exposure before returning to school.

If a student or staff member is sent home from school with COVID symptoms, the remaining students in that class will not have to quarantine as long as they were wearing their masks and were six feet apart in the classroom.

This is one of the main reasons that masks are required for all individuals on campus and classroom seating is set up for six feet of distance between students.
