COVID-19 Reporting and Isolation Guidelines for Parents
Reporting Incidents of Sickness: Please submit a Report New Attendance form attendance office as soon as possible if your child tests positive for COVID-19. Include the first day of symptoms and positive test in your communication. The attendance office will excuse your student through the fifth day of the required isolation period.
Isolation Instructions: If your child tests positive for COVID-19, it's crucial to follow these guidelines:
- Stay home for a minimum of 5 days and isolate from others within your household.
- Keep track of your symptoms. Seek emergency medical care if you experience severe warning signs such as difficulty breathing.
Ending Isolation: The duration of isolation depends on your COVID-19 symptoms:
- If you had no symptoms, you can end isolation after day 5.
- If you had symptoms and they're improving, you can end isolation after day 5, provided you've been fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
- If your symptoms are not improving, continue to isolate until you've been fever-free for 24 hours without medication, and your symptoms are showing improvement.
Note: Even if you experience lingering loss of taste and smell, you can still end isolation as these symptoms might persist for a while after recovery.
For more information, please refer to the CDC’s comprehensive guidelines on dealing with COVID-19.
