IF YOUR STUDENT HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19
Please contact the school nurse to report your case. Your student must remain home and follow the quarantine procedure:
10-day quarantine: 10 full days at home, return on day 11. No further testing is needed.
5-day quarantine: 5 full days at home, return on day 6 UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
- Evidence of a negative RAPID test taken on day 5 or later (or the day before the return day if after 5 days)
- Commitment to wear a tight fitting mask at all times (N95, cloth mask & surgical mask combo, surgical mask with tied ear loops, etc.) for the duration of the 10 days
- Commitment to eat/drink/pull mask down at a distance of 6 feet or greater from other people for the duration of the 10 days.
COVID-19 TESTING INFORMATION
SDUSD IS SHIFTING TO HOME COVID TESTS - WEEKLY SITE TESTING ENDING JAN 28
- Effective Jan. 28, COVID-19 testing will shift from weekly site testing to an all home test kit model. Students and staff who wish to continue weekly testing after Jan. 28 can take a free home test kit from UCHS Health Office through the 22/23 school year. The Ed Center testing facility will also close effective Monday, Jan. 30.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or the day the test sample was taken, whichever is earlier
- Testing centers are in high demand, and PCR results are taking 4+ days to be returned.
- You may quarantine your student if you choose to not test. Quarantine is for 10 full days from the onset of symptoms returning on day 11 without the need to provide any test result. This is an acceptable course of action, and due to the difficulty testing, is sometimes the easiest and safest.
- At home rapid tests are being accepted for early return days (day 5 or later after a positive result).
