Students who are required to quarantine are also provided with information on how to reach out to their teachers to request classwork and access to instruction during their absence.
What does "exposure" mean?
Note: A confirmed case of COVID-19 does not mean all students in a classroom or at a school were exposed or will get sick. The contact tracing process is utilized to determine the individuals who were potentially exposed and should take precautions.
What does it mean to be a "close contact?"
Note: A student who passes by someone who tests positive for COVID-19 in the hallway, bathroom, or outdoor space does not make the student a close contact of the ill individual.
Does my student have COVID-19 if they are a close contact?
A positive COVID-19 test result is required to confirm illness. Being a close contact does not mean that your student is infected with COVID-19. A close contact is an individual who may have been exposed to the virus and may become infected and spread the virus to others before developing symptoms. Therefore, close contacts are asked to monitor their health for symptoms of the illness, wear a mask, especially indoors, and test during Day 3-5 after the exposure. If your student shows any symptoms of the virus, it is important to have your child tested.
