Updated Covid Decision Tree: The COVID-19 Decision Tree on Quarantine in English has been updated based on the latest guidance from the California Department of Public Health and county Public Health Services. These updates include:
Return on Day 8 and return on Day 11 are now authorized for use with students who were exposed in non-school settings.
Return on Day 8 is now also available for employees.
Students in modified (in-school) quarantine can now return to before-school, after-school, and weekend activities on Day 8 with a negative test result from a test sample collected as early as Day 5 (instead of Day 6).
Students utilizing the “return on Day 8” option may now also test as earlier as Day 5.
What is ASES? ASES (After School Education & Safety) is aligned with the regular school day and provides a safe physical and social-emotional environment that supports building positive relationships. It is an extension of the school day and offers literacy and academic enrichment components. Studies show that participation in the ASES Program increases students’ attachment to their schools, improves academics, and provides a safe environment for students.
Please check our ASES Website or contact our ASES Supervisor, Jireh Advincula for more info.
