Latest News

                                                                   Updated School Covid-19 Guidance
Effective August 15, 2022
  • Pursuant to VDH guidance, masks are no longer required or recommended in any school setting (indoor/outdoor) except for isolation purposes after testing positive for COVID. In those cases, persons who test positive for COVID should stay home for 5 days from the onset of symptoms or the day of a positive test. Once symptoms resolve/improve and the individual is fever-free for 24 hours, they may return on Day 6.  Masks are recommended through Day 10.  While a negative test is not required to return to school on Day 6, it is recommended.  
  • Quarantine is no longer required for anyone exposed (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period or having direct contact with respiratory secretions from an infected person) to someone who has tested positive, regardless of vaccination status, so long as the exposed individual is asymptomatic.
  • If you are not up to date on COVID-19 vaccines AND have not had COVID-19 in the last 6 months, you may consider testing as soon as possible after the exposure and again between Days 3-5 after exposure. (We have Test to Stay available)
  • Isolation and Quarantine Guidance
    • Symptomatic persons (regardless of vaccination status) should begin isolation at home and undergo testing as recommended by their healthcare providers. The day symptoms began should be counted as day 0.
    • Persons who test positive (regardless of vaccination status) should isolate themselves at home for at least 5 days. If they are asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and they have been fever-free for 24 hours, they may return to programming after Day 5, provided:
      • If the individual is able to mask, they should do so through Day 10.
      • If the individual is unable or unwilling to mask during this time (including children under age 2), VDH recommends a negative test on or after Day 6 in order to return to programming.
  • This guidance could change if the school experiences an outbreak of COVID.

• If the CDC guidance changes or Executive Orders are put into place that require us to alter these plans, you will be notified immediately.
