Learning Safely in 2021-22
January 6 Community Update
Public Schools Following Separate Local Isolation Guidelines for Schools
Redwood City School District (RCSD), and all San Mateo public schools, currently continue to follow the ten day isolation period for individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. San Mateo Health has directed all schools to continue following the original ten day guidance.
On December 27, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reduced the isolation period to five days, which in San Mateo County, currently only applies to the general public. At this time, the guidance for the general public does not apply to schools in San Mateo County.
RCSD will continue to follow the 10 day original guidance. Should schools be directed to reduce it to five days, RCSD will then implement that new protocol.
The district also reminds families and employees to stay home when experiencing any common COVID symptoms. Individuals who have symptoms should use this process for how and when to return to school:
Vaccination Clinic for 5-11 Year Olds:
In addition, the district reminds families that appointments are available for the pediatric vaccination clinic the district will host in January.
