Step 1: When a student, who is on campus, has displayed symptoms of COVID-19, such as a fever, coughing, shortness of breath, etc., the school administration will determine if and when a student needs to be sent home. Students who begin to present symptoms while not on campus should be reported to the CCA front office and should include the following: name of student, day/time symptoms began, and whether a test has been conducted.
Step 2: The school will consult with the parent to determine the duration of the quarantine and isolation needed for their symptomatic student. The student who has symptoms of COVID-19, may return to campus after the following three conditions have been met:
- 10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms AND
- Symptoms, not including the lack of taste and smell, have been resolved AND
- At least 24 hours have passed with no fever and without the use of fever-reducing medication.
The student may return to campus before the end of the 10-day period only IF a note from a health care provider is received by and discussed with the administration prior to the student’s return.
Step 3: The school will follow up with the student throughout the quarantine and isolation period, as necessary.
Step 4: If the parent of the student reports to the school that the student was tested for COVID-19 and is now lab confirmed positive, the steps for “Students Who Report That They are Lab-Confirmed Positive for COVID-19” will be followed.
