Raider Nation Review

*Health & Safety*
In-home Exposure
Wylie ISD highly recommends and encourages students and staff who are close contacts due to an in-home exposure complete a stay-at-home period of 10 days. Collin County Health and TEA recommend that an individual can return to campus/work following 10 days if no symptoms have occurred. Individuals who have been vaccinated or have had a positive COVID-19 test within 90 days are not considered close contacts, even if they have been exposed to a positive individual.
Non-Family Campus Visitors
Mentors and other non-family visitors can be a vital part of building relationships with our kiddos. With the recent surge from the Delta variant, we are postponing all non-family visitors to campuses. This is only temporary and will be reinstated as soon as possible.
