Students Reporting COVID-19 Symptoms or Exposure
If a student has reported or displayed symptoms of COVID-19 the following protocols must be followed before student may return to school:
- Have the student evaluated by a healthcare provider. If the healthcare provider determines the student’s symptoms are related to an illness other than COVID-19, provide the school with a doctor’s note permitting the student to return to school. Student may return after symptoms have improved and he/she has been fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication.
- Have the student tested for COVID-19. If the test is negative, provide a copy of the negative test result to the school. Student may return after symptoms have improved and he/she has been fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication.
- Have the student tested for COVID-19. If the test is positive, notify school immediately. Student must isolate at home for 10 days. After completing isolation, student may return to school after symptoms have improved and he/she has been fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication.
- If no alternate diagnosis has been provided and the student is not tested for COVID-19, the school will assume the student is positive for COVID-19 and require isolation at home for 10 days.
- Siblings of a student reporting or displaying symptoms of COVID-19 may also be sent home from school. Should that be required, additional information will be provided to the family.
If a student has been exposed to a person with COVID-19:
- Student and siblings must remain home and quarantine from all activities for at least 14 days since last contact with COVID-positive person.
Student should be tested for COVID-19 5-7 days after last known contact. If the test is positive, follow isolation protocols. If the test is negative, student must still complete remainder of 14-day quarantine before returning to school.

Teachers who are quarantining will still be able to teach the classes as well. On Wednesday through Friday, students are to access Google Classroom and complete all assignments. Teachers will be available for any assistance for any questions or assistance.
