COVID-19 Safety/Safe Return to In-Person Plan
On July 11, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) changed COVID-19 guidance to focus on preventing communicable disease, in general.
The 2024-2025 CDPH Schools Guidance for schools can be found on the CA Safe Schools for All webpage or at this link:
Highlights
- Schools support wearing masks to prevent transmission of respiratory disease. When and Why to Wear a Mask
- If you have COVID-19 symptoms or a positive test, you must isolate for at least 24 hours until:
-
- You have not had a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for 24 hours without using fever reducing medications,
-
- And, other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving.
- Mask when you are around other people indoors for the 10 days* after you become sick or test positive (if no symptoms). You may remove your mask sooner than 10 days if you have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart. Day 0 is symptom onset date or positive test date.
- After you have ended isolation, if your symptoms recur or worsen, get tested again and if positive, restart isolation at Day 0.
- Students exposed to COVID-19, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status, or location of exposure, may continue to participate in all aspects of K-12 schooling, including sports and extracurricular activities unless they develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19
