Important Health & Safety Updates

We have updated our quarantine protocols to provide further clarification as it pertains to students who have previously had COVID-19.

If your student is identified as a Close Contact to a positive case on or off campus and has already had COVID-19, they have two options:
 
  1. If your student tested positive for COVID-19 90 days of their close contact, they do NOT need to observe a period of quarantine provided they remain asymptomatic and you have submitted their positive test to the Health and Safety Task Force or School Nurse.
  2. If your student tested positive for COVID-19 greater than 90 days before their close contact, you must submit a current positive antibody test to the Health and Safety Task Force or School Nurse in order to be exempt from quarantine.
