When can my child return to school after being diagnosed with COVID-19?
Your student can return to school when all three of the following criteria have been met:
- At least one day (24 hours) has passed since with no fever without the use of fever reducing medications and
- Ten (10) days have passed since the symptoms first appeared and
- Symptoms are improved
You also may submit a medical professional's note indicating an alternative diagnosis or obtain an acute infection test that comes back negative for COVID-19 to gain clearance to return to school. Students must check-in with the school nurse before being allowed to return to classes.

What do I do if a member of our household has been exposed to someone with COVID-19?
This is considered a "contact of a contact." If a member of your household has been exposed to COVID-19 but is not experiencing symptoms and the student was not in close contact with the positive COVID-19 individual, then your student may continue attending school on campus. Continue to monitor for symptoms and follow CDC guidelines by:
- Maintaining good hygiene
- Practicing social distancing
- Wearing a mask
- Washing hands frequently
-
Someone in our household is showing symptoms of COVID-19, should my child stay home from school?
The individual experiencing symptoms should get tested for COVID-19 and the remaining members of the household should quarantine until the test results are returned. Keep your student home and notify your campus to report your child's absence and close contact with a symptomatic individual.
-
If my student has had direct exposure to someone with COVID-19 can they still come to school?
This is considered a "close contact." Keep your student home and contact your campus nurse. If your student has had direct exposure through close contact to someone with COVID-19, begin a 14-day quarantine from the last-known contact with the lab-confirmed individual and monitor for symptoms.
-
What do I do if my student has COVID-19 symptoms or has been diagnosed through a lab-confirmed positive test result?
Keep your student home and contact your campus nurse. If your student has symptoms, begin a 10-day isolation from the time of your test or the onset of symptoms. If your student has been diagnosed with COVID-19 through a lab-confirmed positive test result, begin a 10-day isolation from the time of the test or the onset of symptoms, whichever is earlier.
