- Staying home when sick
- Vaccination
- Limiting visitors to essential providers
- Postponing large group gatherings in schools (such as All School Meetings and assemblies)
- Maintaining physical distance of at least 3 feet when feasible
- Voluntary surveillance testing
- Due to the circulating and highly contagious Delta variant, the CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all students (age 2 and older) , staf, teachers, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status.
- Screening testing, ventilation, handwashing and respiratory etiquette, staying home when sick and getting tested , contact tracing in combination with quarantine and isolation, and cleaing and disinfectionare also important layers of preventionto keep schools safe.
- Students, teachers and staff should stay home when they have signs of any infectious illness and contact their healthcare provider for testing and care. If your student has a fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, sore throat, runny nose/conjestion, headache, nausea/vomitingor diarrhea please keep them home until they have been symptom free for greater than 24 hours.
