CDPH K-12 Schools Guidance 2021-2022 Questions & Answers:
Why are we notified about a positive case 3-5 days after the infectious period? (March 16, 2022)
It is the goal of the San Carlos School District to notify families of exposure as soon as we are able. Once we are notified that there is a positive Case of COVID-19 on campus, we must first determine who may have been exposed, this can take up to 8 hours per case depending on when were first notified.
COVID-19 Exposure at School (CDPH) Graphic (March 16, 2022):
Stay Home When Sick and Get Tested:
- Staff members and students with symptoms of COVID-19 infection should not return for in-person instruction until they have met these criteria:
- At least 24 hours have passed since the resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and
- Other symptoms have improved; and
- They have a negative COVID-19 test,
- OR a healthcare provider has provided documentation that the symptoms are typical of their underlying chronic condition (e.g., allergies or asthma)
- OR a healthcare provider has confirmed an alternative named diagnosis (e.g., Streptococcal pharyngitis, Coxsackie virus),
- OR at least 10 days have passed since symptom onset.
- Students, teachers, and staff who have symptoms of infectious illness, such as influenza (flu) or COVID-19, should stay home and be referred to their healthcare provider for testing and care.
- Parents and guardians should keep children home if they are showing signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and get them tested.

Student and Community COVID-19 Testing:
-
Contact your health provider for a test if you have symptoms or know you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
-
Keeping COVID cases off of our campuses will keep our in-person learning possible.

Independent Study Program:
California Assembly Bill 130 authorizes districts to provide Independent Study for a student whose health would be put at risk by in-person instruction, as determined by the parent or guardian. The program SCSD is offering in 2021-22 will differ significantly from the Connections program we offered last year in that synchronous instruction will be limited, as the legislation requires just 30 minutes daily for grades K-3 and 40 minutes, 2 times per week for 4-8 grade.
Here is a presentation slide deck from the August 5, 2021 SCSD School Board Meeting with more detailed information. If you are interested in this program or would like to inquire more about it, please contact your school Principal.
