Updated Guidelines for Quarantining Students
Beginning Monday, October 18, CCPS will be following a modified process for quarantining unvaccinated students identified as close contacts of a positive case of COVID-19. Based on updated guidance from the Caroline County Health Department (CCHD), quarantining protocols will be as follows:
With masking:
In settings where all students are masked, an asymptomatic student who is identified as a close contact will no longer need to quarantine from school as long as the following conditions are met:
If at any time the student develops symptoms of COVID-19, he or she should isolate and get tested right away.
The student must continue to wear a mask properly for 14 days after the exposure in all settings.
The student cannot participate in activities within a school or public setting for 14 days where universal masking and social distancing are not in place. This includes sports and extracurricular activities.
Testing is recommended 3-5 days following the exposure.
Parents will be notified by email only if their child is identified as a close contact while masked. Parents should ensure their email address is current with the school, and check their email regularly.
Students currently quarantined under these conditions (all students masked) may return to school on Monday. Please check with the school nurse if you are unsure about the conditions of your child’s quarantine.
If parents choose to keep an asymptomatic child home to quarantine, they should notify the school and the absence will be excused until a specified return date.
Without masking:
Students who are identified as close contacts while not wearing a mask (such as during meals) will continue to be quarantined. Students currently quarantined under these conditions (no masks) must remain quarantined as directed. Please check with the school nurse if you are unsure about the conditions of your child’s quarantine.
Parents will be notified by phone, followed by a letter in the mail. There are two options for quarantined students:
Option A: Quarantine at home for 10 days from the last date of known exposure. Your child can return as long as they remain without symptoms.
Option B: Quarantine at home for 7 days from the last date of known exposure with testing on or after day 5 from exposure. Your child can return to school on day 8 with a negative PCR test result.
For more details, please see the CCPS News Release.
Information for Quarantined Students!

Google Classroom
Username: lastname.firstname@ccpsstudent.org

Tutoring - Quarantined students in need of help with assignments may connect with a tutor at the school. Zoom links for tutors may be found on the student’s Google Classroom.
Elementary School: 4:00 to 5:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, beginning Thursday, September 23
Middle school hours: 3:00 to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, beginning Thursday, September 23
High school hours: 3:00 to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, beginning Monday, October 11
Guidelines:
Join the Zoom early so teachers have enough time to help you.
If a teacher is with another student, they may message you to wait a few minutes, ask you to join at a later time, or work with multiple students at a time.
If there is a day a teacher is unavailable, the sheet will say “Unavailable” and the date, next to the teacher’s name - log in the next day for help.
Internet Access - If your home does not have internet access (to connect with Google Classroom), a Kajeet Smartspot may be available through the school. If the device does not enable connectivity, please contact the school.

Yearly Student Emergency Forms- Now all online
CCPS uses an online form (no paper!) to verify or update student information through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. The process typically takes less than five minutes per student, and allows families to verify that all of the student's data is correct and provide updates for any important data that has changed. This process replaces the old paper form sent home in previous years. Parents, please check your email for this information from:
Please note: If the student’s address has changed, proof of residence will be required. This may be uploaded through PowerSchool or provided directly to the school.
