The following guidelines for return to campus are in effect at this time:

SISD Staff and Students who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate/be off campus

AND fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever suppressing medications; fever is considered 100°F or higher)
AND other symptoms have improved.

*If there are no symptoms, stay home until at least 5 days after the day of testing.

b. If school staff or students were exposed to someone with COVID-19 and developed symptoms, they should stay home until they are tested and negative test results are provided. If the test results are positive, follow the guidance above.

*Day 0 is the day symptoms began or the day of the positive viral test (if no COVID-19 symptoms).

If your child is required to stay home, please contact your child’s teacher(s) to request assignments that they might be able to work on while at home if they feel well enough to do so.
