Happy New Year

Riverside Families and Friends,

Happy New Year to you and yours. We happy to have students back in school and are enjoying a great week of school together. We recently received updated guidance from the CDC regarding COVID exposure and quarantine procedures. Here is a detailed document outlining our newest procedures. For those who prefer a simplified version, I am providing some bullet points below.


Regardless of vaccination status we will utilize the following protocols:

  • Isolation guidelines: Students and staff who have tested positive must isolate for five days and can return on day six after they have been symptom free for 24 hours. They must continue to mask for the next five days.

  • Exposure & Symptomatic: If a student or staff member is exposed to COVID-19 and symptomatic, they need to isolate for 5 days. They can return to work or school and wear a mask for five days, after they are symptom free for 24 hours.

  • Quarantine guidelines: Students and staff who have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, regardless of where the person was exposed (for example home, school, work, etc.) and regardless if they are able to isolate at home, can continue to report to work and school as long as they wear a mask for 10 days, and are asymptomatic. In summary, if there is an exposure, if the person is asymptomatic, they can return to school and wear a mask for 10 days.

  • Contact tracing only needs to occur in situations where individuals were not wearing a mask (for example, lunch, athletic competition, etc.).

Report Cards will Come Home Today, 1/14/22
