COVID-19 Reporting and Testing Resources

Please inform the school health office if your student is positive for COVID-19.

On July 11, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) released its latest guidance for schools to mitigate the spread of communicable diseases. Many respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, continue to circulate in our community. CDPH now recommends following CDC guidance on Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You're Sick.  In general, students with respiratory virus symptoms (i.e., fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache) can go back to school when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true:

• Symptoms are getting better overall, and
• They have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)

When going back to normal activities, the CDC recommends taking added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when students will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.

Have questions? Please contact the school nurse or health tech at your student's school.

Note: Staff must continue to follow the CalOSHA COVID-19 Non Emergency Regulations.
