Please stay home until further notice.
Notify anyone in your social circle that may be considered a close contact.
There is currently an increase of cases. Someone from the team will follow up as soon as possible.
Date to Return
When a student tests positive for COVID, DAY ZERO is when the student first exhibited symptoms, OR, if asymptomatic, when the student tested positive, whichever came first.
From there, we count 5 additional days. If, on the 5th day:
Symptoms are improving AND the student is fever free without the aide of fever reducer for 24 hours
OR the child never developed symptoms
The child may take a COVID-19 test. We accept all FDA-approved home tests, all lab verified rapid antigen tests, or all PCR tests for this purpose.
If the child tests negative on day 5, he/she may return to school on day 6*.
*Please see the terms for returning after being positive in the MODIFIED QUARANTINE section below.
Modified Quarantine
Positive students who test negative, on or after day five, but before the full 10 day isolation period, may return to school. For the remainder of their 10-day isolation period, they must:
Wear an upgraded mask:
Double Mask (surgical + cloth)

Vaccination Submission
Please submit your negative test results on the appropriate dates.
Previously positive students are considered to hold the antibodies. If they later become a close contact, they would be considered vaccinated for 3 months. To take advantage of this, please submit your child's positive test result here to be kept on file in the health office.
