COVID UPDATES
Please refer to the Covid-19 Updates link below to view any updates to our Parent Covid FAQ. When necessary, we will provide revisions to our FAQ in that link. The following updates were made as of December 20, 2021:
How long does quarantine instruction last?
- It depends… You must contact the school nurse immediately upon any information related to COVID in regard to your child.
- The below link from the New Jersey Department of Health was just updated on December 15, 2021, and has the most recent exclusion criteria found on page 11 for close contacts.
- Always contact your school nurse who will guide you through this. RecommendationsForLocalHealthDepts_K12Schools.pdf
How many days does my unvaccinated child need to quarantine if found to be a close contact?
- The DOH recently reduced the number of days required to quarantine as follows: A student who is found to be a close contact of a Covid positive person will be required to quarantine for a minimum of 7 days and return on the 8th day, as long as the child is both symptom free and has obtained a negative COVID test from a professional provider 5-7 days after exposure. If you choose not to test the quarantine is shortened to 10 days from 14 days.
What are the quarantine rules for a child planning to or has traveled internationally
- Please note that there is a change to international travel for all students. All students traveling internationally, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, may return to school on the 8th day after travel as long as they produce a negative COVID test, where the test was taken 3-5 days after returning from travel. Without producing a negative viral test, individuals must quarantine for 10 days. Students are eligible for quarantine instruction during this time. You must contact the school nurse prior to returning.
