Household Close Contacts/Positive Case in the Home
Household Close Contacts/Positive Case in the Home
Beginning Monday, Sept. 13, Wylie ISD will require a quarantine period for students who have a positive case in the home. A student may be excluded from this mandatory quarantine period if they meet one of the following criteria:
Fully vaccinated (must be two weeks post-last dose of a vaccine series), OR
A lab-confirmed positive COVID test within the past 90 days.
Families should notify the district of a lab-confirmed positive COVID case in the home via our COVID-19 reporting form. The campus nurse will help determine a student’s return date. Quarantined students are eligible for the district’s remote conferencing program.

Families can view the district’s case tracker, which is updated nightly, at wylieisd.net/covid19.
