2022-2023 COVID Guidance for Parents
Updated 8/17/22
There is no longer any difference in recommendations between those who are vaccinated and those who are unvaccinated.
Isolation:
-
5 days from the onset of symptoms(the first day of symptoms is counted as day zero)
-
May return to school on day 6, as long as student is fever-free for more than 24 hours AND symptoms are improving
-
Student is asked to wear a mask through day 10
There is no longer a recommendation for quarantine of siblings/others living in the same household(close contacts)
Symptomatic students:
-
Students who become symptomatic at school will be given a mask and sent home to begin isolation. You are encouraged to have your student tested for COVID-19 but it is NOT mandatory.
Absence from school.
-
You will need to write a note for your student to miss school. If it is due to COVID those 5 days will be excused. If your student should get a COVID-like illness for a second time, you will need a doctor’s note(so as not to abuse attendance).
