The decision has been made to update our quarantine guidelines related to students and staff members who are considered COVID-19 Close Contacts. Effective immediately, we will begin to use the following guidelines, which are aligned with the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) updates we implemented at the start of January:
If your student is a Close Contact and was wearing a mask when the contact took place, their quarantine is:
• Classroom – Zero days
• Activities – 7 days (return on day 8) with a negative COVID test result that is administered no sooner than day 5; if not tested, then 10 days
If your student is a Close Contact and was not wearing a mask when the contact took place, their quarantine is:
• Classroom – 7 days (return on day 8) with a negative COVID test result that is administered no sooner than day 5; if not tested, then 10 days
• Activities – 14 days

As always, we appreciate your partnership as we navigate these unprecedented times.
In service to our children,
