COVID PROCEDURES
COVID PROCEDURES
Taylor County’s goal is to keep our students safely in school, in-person five days a week. Students benefit cognitively, emotionally, and developmentally from in-person learning. Parents, if your child tests positive for COVID-19, please notify your school to document the absence and for further guidance. If your child is waiting for the results of a covid test because they are symptomatic please keep your child at home and remember to call the school.
Taylor County Schools will continue to use a layered strategy to prevent a Covid spread and to keep students in school.
IF A STUDENT OR STAFF MEMBER TESTS POSITIVE:
The individual must quarantine away from school for at least five (5) days. Start of symptoms is day 0. At the end of five days (ON day 6), the individual may return.
IF A POSITIVE CASE IS IN THE HOUSEHOLD:
Students and staff members who are asymptomatic are expected to come to school.
If a student or staff member begins to show symptoms, then the student/ staff member needs to STAY HOME and get tested.
